Hi,
Is anyone aware of any sample SPIN programs for the above wi-fi modules?
I have done a search of obex and the web I cannot find any.
Many thanks . .

of course it depends what you want to do
I used ESP8266 loaded with NodeMCU running the Lua interpreter interactively.
So you just send Lua commands via serial.
You don't need any special object for this except SERIAL
I use the wx device's serial port with fullduplexserialplus on the prop to send ANSI ESCAPE control codes using the telnet port 23 with putty.
Its a nice way to format the debug output.
Example code is just dumping ansi codes to the serial input on the wx device.. Its pretty simple.
Connect to port 23 of the ip for your wx device using putty.

The propeller RES pin goes to the WX RES pin. (gpio12, DTR)
The propeller TX pin goes to the WX DI pin.
The propeller RX pin goes to the WX DO pin.
Connect the wx device to your network and open its ip address.
The propeller wx page should show.
From there you can upload a new copy of the latest firmware if there are any (https://github.com/parallaxinc/Parallax-ESP/releases)
If you compile the above prop code i attached, using the PropellerTool software https://www.parallax.com/sites/default/files/downloads/P8X32A-Setup-Propeller-Tool-v1.3.2.zip
Generate a binary by pressing F8, and save the binary to c:\temp\propcode.binary
You can download and extract the proploader to c:\temp\proploader.exe https://github.com/parallaxinc/PropLoader/releases/download/v1.0-37/proploader-win.zip
Then run this by pressing the start button, search for program, type in cmd.exe
press enter and open the program when it finds it
that opens a command prompt, then paste this command.
c:\temp\proploader.exe -I yourwxnameoripaddresshere -e -r propcode.binaryyou WILL need to change yourwxnameoripaddresshere to your actual wx ip address or name.
It will upload the code to your prop connected to the wx device on wifi.
Then you need putty https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
And open a connection in putty, telnet port 23 on address: yourwxnameoripaddresshere
So now you can wirelessly program, and view the debug output of any propeller based project with the parallax wx device, and these instructions.
"I'll buy that for a dollar"
Simple fix:
term.str(string(":Hours ")) '' fixed missing ")"dgately
Excellent catch, no idea how it slipped in. Original fixed.
I suppose i could have made the timer code actually work by including the proper code..
But, this was just a demo on how to format ansi command codes to a ansi compatible terminal program over telnet.... didn't want to add more complications that might confuse.. thanks again!!
(ANSI Escape codes)
http://ascii-table.com/ansi-escape-sequences.php
Esc[Line;ColumnH Esc[Line;Columnf Cursor Position: Moves the cursor to the specified position (coordinates). If you do not specify a position, the cursor moves to the home position at the upper-left corner of the screen (line 0, column 0). This escape sequence works the same way as the following Cursor Position escape sequence. Esc[ValueA Cursor Up: Moves the cursor up by the specified number of lines without changing columns. If the cursor is already on the top line, ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence. Esc[ValueB Cursor Down: Moves the cursor down by the specified number of lines without changing columns. If the cursor is already on the bottom line, ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence. Esc[ValueC Cursor Forward: Moves the cursor forward by the specified number of columns without changing lines. If the cursor is already in the rightmost column, ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence. Esc[ValueD Cursor Backward: Moves the cursor back by the specified number of columns without changing lines. If the cursor is already in the leftmost column, ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence. Esc[s Save Cursor Position: Saves the current cursor position. You can move the cursor to the saved cursor position by using the Restore Cursor Position sequence. Esc[u Restore Cursor Position: Returns the cursor to the position stored by the Save Cursor Position sequence. Esc[2J Erase Display: Clears the screen and moves the cursor to the home position (line 0, column 0). Esc[K Erase Line: Clears all characters from the cursor position to the end of the line (including the character at the cursor position). Esc[Value;...;Valuem Set Graphics Mode: Calls the graphics functions specified by the following values. These specified functions remain active until the next occurrence of this escape sequence. Graphics mode changes the colors and attributes of text (such as bold and underline) displayed on the screen. Text attributes 0 All attributes off 1 Bold on 4 Underscore (on monochrome display adapter only) 5 Blink on 7 Reverse video on 8 Concealed on Foreground colors 30 Black 31 Red 32 Green 33 Yellow 34 Blue 35 Magenta 36 Cyan 37 White Background colors 40 Black 41 Red 42 Green 43 Yellow 44 Blue 45 Magenta 46 Cyan 47 White Parameters 30 through 47 meet the ISO 6429 standard. Esc[=Valueh Set Mode: Changes the screen width or type to the mode specified by one of the following values: Screen resolution 0 40 x 25 monochrome (text) 1 40 x 25 color (text) 2 80 x 25 monochrome (text) 3 80 x 25 color (text) 4 320 x 200 4-color (graphics) 5 320 x 200 monochrome (graphics) 6 640 x 200 monochrome (graphics) 7 Enables line wrapping 13 320 x 200 color (graphics) 14 640 x 200 color (16-color graphics) 15 640 x 350 monochrome (2-color graphics) 16 640 x 350 color (16-color graphics) 17 640 x 480 monochrome (2-color graphics) 18 640 x 480 color (16-color graphics) 19 320 x 200 color (256-color graphics)I have not tested all these sequences with putty, use at your own risk. (of confusion)
You can also, using putty, and either the WX device or a simple serial port, view ANS files directly with the propeller, and putty.

Playscii

I generated an ANSI image of the parallax logo using it.
But it doesn't work, so if anyone wants to figure out why the ansi files made by playscii will not work..
The ANSI for the storm trooper was found here:

You can see rendering of the pack here

I didn't mean to make this about ANSI stuff.
Just showing that ANSI terminals are pretty useful with microcontrollers.
