esp8266 mbed setup and control
ESP8266 setup to talk to an mbed¶
The esp 8266 is a very handy little wifi module that you can get hold of for a few $ via ebay.
There's a really good wiki page at https://developer.mbed.org/users/4180_1/notebook/using-the-esp8266-with-the-mbed-lpc1768/ with information on how to connect it to an lpc1768 and two test codes.
Whilst playing with this we found it fairly useful to be able to interact with the units via a terminal. In general this is a very good way to check out what it does and get a feel for how the unit behaves.
Our modified terminal passthrough code is here
