Software Installation
Step A) Install latest IDE (If you have IDE version after 1.1.16, please skip this step).
Download IDE from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software?setlang=en, then install the software.
Step B)WifiESP Library is required to run OSOYOO ESP8266 shield sketch code. If you have installed this library, please skip this step.
WifiESP library can be downloaded from following link:
https://osoyoo.com/driver/WiFiEsp-master.zip
then in your IDE ->Sketch->Include Library->Add .ZIP Library and select the WiFiEsp-master.zip file you just downloaded, and upload it to Basic board.
Step C)Download and Edit esp8266-lesson1.ino file
Please download sketch from https://osoyoo.com/driver/wifi-iot/lesson1/esp8266-lesson1.zip and unzip the file and double click esp8266-lesson1.ino file, you can edit this file in IDE.
Step D) Open the IDE and choose corresponding board type and port type for you project.
- Board:”Arduino/Genuino UNO”
- Port: Choose your own Serial Port for your UNO board
Step E) IDE: Click file -> click Open -> choose code “esp8266-lesson1” and open it.
In the sketch, find following lines:
char ssid[] = "******"; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "******"; // your network password
please replace the ****** with your correct wifi SSID and password, otherwise your project can
not connect to Internet. not connect to Internet.
After loading the sketch to Basic board , open the serial monitor in the upper-right corner of IDE
You will see following message:
From the serial monitor , you can see the IP address of your UNO board in the read circle (in above example, our Basic board IP address is 192.168.50.116).
Then use your browser to visit the website http://192.168.50.116, you will see following result:
