How to change baudrate of ESP8266 (12e) permanently?

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE AT+IPR=9600! (see update) I have an ESP8266 12E module that communicates at 115,200 bauds. Since I use it with an Arduino Nano with SoftwareSerial things get messy. So I found that I should reduce the baud rate of the ESP…

ESP8266, Arduino IDE vs Lua?

I'm planning to buy an ESP8266. Do I really need to learn Lua to play with it? I have seen some people using it with the standard Arduino IDE. Do you need a custom firmware to use the Arduino IDE instead of Lua? The Arduino IDE seems better for me…

On an esp8266 what is faster, 64-bit math or float math?

I need to do some math with vars from an attitude sensor (acclerometers and gyroscopes) on an esp8266. int32_t math with those vars does not have enough range and the float math operations are abyssmally slow. I'm hoping to use a fixed-point format…

Does the ESP8266 somehow remember wifi access data?

Today I did some tinkering with an ESP8266, trying out OTA and writing a webserver. To find an error, I reduced the sketch to just the following lines: #include ESP8266WebServer server(80); void setup() { …

How to I make the Tx and Rx pins on an ESP-8266-01 into GPIO pins?

When programming an ESP-01 with Arduino IDE, how can I make the Tx and Rx into a generic I/O pins reliably? I think there's a command to swap the Tx and Tx with other pins. I tried serial.swap() but it didn't work. So how to get done with Arduino…

Same structure taking different memory space on Uno and NodeMCU ESP8266, leading to data corruption when transferring via nRF24L01+

I'm trying to transfer data between a Arduino Uno board to a NodeMCU ESP8266 board, using nRF24L01+ transceivers module and RF24 library on both side. The data I'm transferring are stored in a struct defined this way: // Struct declared in both…

Resistor pull-ups for ESP8266

I'm using 4.7kOhm resistor as pullups for GPIOs 2,0,2,16, CH_PD and RESET, and also 4.7kOhm pulldown for GPIO 15. The ESP8266 boots and works fine. Would it be okay for a long shot? Should I use 10kOhm instead of 4.7kOhm?
