simple terminal on Serial3 Serial for Arduino Mega I have created a simple bridging code between the two ports as you can see below: The picture above shows how I am using Serial3 on Arduino Mega as the communication channel with the module, while Serial is kept for the user interface (with the serial monitor of Arduino IDE). Unfortunately SoftwareSerial can only work up to 19200bps, so it is out of the question. If you want to start coding for Arduino to do some useful stuff you need to be able to both reprogram the Arduino (which you cannot with the previous setup) plus accesss to or being accessed from the Internet, a second serial port is needed. But this setup is only for you to use Arduino's IDE Serial Terminal function. You can do the basic stuff if you load the Blink example on your Arduino UNO (so you are positive Arduino serial port is not used) and you connect the TX and RX pins of the module to pins 1 and 0 of Arduino. Whether you use a Leonardo or a Mega, you can get an extra hardware port to communicate with the module and the other for interacting with the user via the serial terminal. I have found the best was to interact with the module is using an Arduino with at least two serial ports. Once you get there things will start to get interesting. Once you connect this last pin to VCC (remember 3.3V) the module is brought to life, and after some garbage in the serial port you can read the word "ready". I was lucky a friend of mine did the same dance before and figured out that at least an additional pin needs to be HIGH too, which is CH_PD pin that acts as an enable signal, without it the board is mute and deaf. I initially connected GND, 3V3, TX and RX pins.

Unfortunately my initial setup was a no go. This way I was able to interact with the board using a serial terminal software (Coolterm). My initial setup has been to use an Arduino UNO as a power supply for the 3.3V and another 3V USB to Serial adapter with one FTDI chip.

Likely it seems that I/O are 5V-tolerant (or so they seem till now). Getting it to work has been a bit weird, as documentation was not very accurate and I was not paying much attention either.Ĭare has to be taken with power supply as the unit is to be powered at 3.3V and using 5V will probably kill it. The module offers, among other choices (I2C, SPI) a serial connection, running at 115200bps. My main interest was to use it with Arduino projects and, perhaps, as a way to use my 3D printers wirelessly.

It is a full SoC system which firmware can be updated. Some weeks ago it was mentioned in a new wifi module was available at a very tempting price (I paid $10 for two ESP8266 units shipped).
