Spin code for Parallax WX ESP8266 WiFi Module?

mpark

I'm looking at Parallax WX ESP8266 WiFi Module code examples and seeing only PBASIC and C. Is there really no Spin support for this device?

Don't know off-hand about other solutions, but I've been using FullDuplexSerial from Spin.

For example, this snippet joins a network:

OBJ
wificom : "FullDuplexSerial" 

wificom.start(WX_DO,WX_DI,0,115200) ' rxpin, txpin, mode, baudrate
wificom.rxflush   ' Clear RX buffer
wificom.str(string($FE,"JOIN:"))
wificom.str(@ssid)
wificom.str(string(","))
wificom.str(@pass)
wificom.str(string(13,10))

Well, dang, is it just that simple? Thanks!

VonSzarvas

Yeah!

And just to check... you've found the API document ?

All the serial commands are detailed there.

From memory, you might want to set either DO or DI low for a few milliseconds, to toggle the ESP module between serial command mode and transparent mode. The API describes that too.

Yup, thanks. My order is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Wish me luck!

I've heard that there is a new way to add Wi-Fi connectivity, is this true?
Is it listed in this guide?

VonSzarvas

Can't say if it's true without knowing what you've heard.

Could you share a link and/or explain "what you've heard" ?
