mbed-os-examples / Mbed OS mbed-os-example-mbed5-wifi

A quick example of a simple WiFi application using the WiFi and network-socket APIs that is provided as a part of mbed-os.

The program brings up the WiFi and the underlying network interface, and uses it to scans available networks, connects to a network, prints interface and connection details and performs simple HTTP operation.

Supported hardware:

Not that the mbed target board the WiFi shield gets connected to shouldn't have any other network interface e.g. Ethernet.

ESP8266 is a fallback option and will be used if the build is for unsupported platform.

 #### Connecting the ESP2866 ####
 
-ESP module needs to be connected to RX and TX UART pins (+ power and ground) on your target board. That can be achieved using Grove shield or connected directly using jumper wires, please note that not all Arduino form factor boards have UART compatible with the Grove shiled.
+To connect the ESP8266 module to your development board, look at the [ESP8266 Cookbook page](https://developer.mbed.org/users/4180_1/notebook/using-the-esp8266-with-the-mbed-lpc1768/). In general, this means hooking up the ESP8266 TX pin to `D0` and the ESP8266 RX pin to `D1` on your development board.
 
-For Grove shield TX has to be connected to D1 and RX to D0.
-
-Make sure that UART module you're connecting ESP to is different than the debug UART connected to your USB port.
+**Note on NUCLEO boards:** On the NUCLEO boards, pins `D0` and `D1` are used for serial communication with the computer. Use pins `D8` (to ESP8266 TX) and `D2` (to ESP8266 RX) instead.
