    Dear colleagues, I am grateful for your help and patience.

    But somehow it doesn't occur to me that I need to paste so much code into the AP UDP module.
    I use AT commands to set up:
    - AP operating mode
    - UDP transmission
    - IP no.
    - listening port number
    - data transfer rate on RS232
    and that everything arriving at the module is sent to RS232.
    On the other hand, programming the module via Arduino adds so many additional things.

    Added after 18 [minutes]: .

    what I mean is whether this set IP address is the address of the module working as a station or is it the address of the module when it works as a UDP server.

    This is easier for me, not necessarily for you. AT commands do exactly the same thing as commands in Arduino. Unfortunately you are unlikely to achieve what you wrote with AT commands, because their use is limited to what was intended by the author of that firmware. Well, unless you don't need the fact that the module will respond once with what it got on the UART and otherwise with the same message. Likewise the soft recommended by @khoam doesn't do exactly what you want, but here you already have access to it, it prints the IP from where the message came from? You don't need it, it's a snap in the comment. AT commands didn't pop into your head somewhere either, you had to learn them.

    I think I got it all wrong, the key is to know the libraries and the commands within them

    Can you recommend me any site with documentation for them?

    I bought an ESP programming module https://opiniolog.com/pl/read/3636/, but I can't upload the program to the board, AT commands are accepted by the module, but the program from Adruino is not, I added a switch to connect the GPIO to GND.

    I can't take a snapshot because the tool window collapses for me.

    Unfortunately someone has misled you, I have seen these dongles in two types, the one without a switch is only for communication mode, the one with a switch on the side can work as a programmer (it connects this GPIO 0 to GND) or as a UART-USB bridge. This is in fact described below in your link. By the way, you could have bought a NODE MCU or a WEMOS mini, at least the shipping wouldn't have doubled the order amount, and you program them without trivialising any switches. You connect to the USB port after shorting 0 with GND, you can also do a short, reset, after 1s it is in programming mode.

    I have this code

    The code works, except that the ESP module works in ST mode it connects to the computer via the router, now how do I rework this to make the ESP work in AP mode?

    I came up with something like this, the AP works, when I connect the computer to the network created by the ESP module, an IP number has been given to the computer, so the connection is there, but when I send something from this computer to the module address nothing appears on the port.

    What specifically are you sending? Your program only reports UDP packets received.
    .

    I tried sending some strings to the module from my computer and a program I wrote from my smartphone.

    This is what I cannot understand, Udp.read writes the received data to the buffer, but how is the number of buffer elements len calculated?
    len is of type int, e.g.

    int len = "test;

    in this case len = 4 ?

    Added after 8 [minutes]:

    And now the next stage.

    I connect the ESP module via Uart to the Arduino board, the arduino sends me data ( strings) via Uart, how do I send it via ESP over WiFi to a specific address, port using UDP, I suspect you need to use the code below, just how do I "catch" into replypacket the data received via UART?

    Actually, it's just that a few days ago it was black magic for me, and now I'm starting to understand the code.

    Hi everything works as I wanted, I have a question about the following part of the code:

    Code: C / C++
    Log in, to see the code
    .
    do i understand this correctly
    - checking if something has arrived via uart
    - if yes, I put the first received character into the first element of the buffer
    - if the buffer is big enough I increase the index i2
    - read the received character into the second buffer element, why is it the second received character and not the first again, after reading the first character from the received string, is the first character automatically deleted?

    One more thing I need to do in the code for the ESP8266 module:
    - I send a command from a smartphone e.g. ON I expose a state of 1 on the GPIO but for say 5 minutes and then the state of the GPIO changes to 0, but while this lasts for 5 minutes I would like to interrupt this time e.g. with an OFF command. Delay is out because it is a blocking function

    In the serial event I've thrown you a ready-made function from the Arduino to receive a line of text, converted to char arrays (because that's how the UDP ESP prefers it). The only inconvenience is that you have to call it in ESP, in UNO the RX interrupt does it.

    And where is the 'i2' initial value zeroed and set? I assume you somehow control the index range for the 'buf2' buffer.

    The variable is I2 is reset to zero when buf 2 is sent.

    I have this problem, I send a string from my PC to the module and it has 9 bytes, I send an identical string from my smartphone to the module and it has 11 bytes, I suspect that the smartphone program is appending invisible characters to the string being sent, probably CR and LF, how to make the comparison:

    where incomingPacked arrives as btnW1_OFF plus CR character plus LF character?

    You can use millis() to count down the time in a loop.


    I don't really know how to do this :( .

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around configuring the ESP8266 module to function as a UDP server with a specific IP address (10.10.2.1) and port (22000), while also facilitating RS232 communication. Users explore the feasibility of using AT commands for setup, troubleshooting connection issues, and the limitations of the AT firmware. Several users share their experiences with command sequences, firmware versions, and the necessity of using Arduino for more complex configurations. The conversation highlights the importance of setting the correct operating mode (AP or Station), managing IP addresses, and handling incoming and outgoing data through UDP. Additionally, users discuss programming the ESP8266 using Arduino IDE, including code snippets for establishing UDP communication and responding to UART data.
