Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2017 8:05 am- is there a way to use tx and rx for outputs in "esp8266-01" ?
- could you provide a code ?

I program it through Arduino IDE, I do not use lua
I did not understand what you mean by D1 or D3, please explain, can you mention a similar project or code?
Thanks

Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2017 10:33 amHi, have a look at the colourfull table about half way down this page
wiki/doku.php?id=esp8266_gpio_pin_allocations
By default the pins are as listed in the table function 0, pin 1 Tx and pin 3 Rx. You want pin 1 to be function 3 a GPIO.

By default the pins are as listed in the table function 0, pin 1 Tx and pin 3 Rx. You want pin 1 to be function 3 a GPIO.
You can activate any “FUNCTION” with pinMode(pin, FUNCTION1) for example.
Code: Select all
// this will swap the pin to a GPIO
pinMode(1, FUNCTION3);
// this will restore the pin to Tx
pinMode(1, FUNCTION0);
