ESP8266 controlling a GoPro

By Fyod
- Fri Jan 01, 2016 2:56 am #37610 Hey guys!
I'm working on controlling a GoPro over the embedded webserver on the GoPro.
I have successfully wired the ESP to my Arduino and the ESP has external power. All is well in the Serial Monitor, raised baud to 57k.
I connect to the GoPro (ESP is in station mode), I get an IP assigned, TCP to 80, everything seems fine until I do a GET request. The Send is OK, but nothing happens on the GoPro and no reply. I am trying various commands like shutter, camera off, etc.

Troubleshooting:
- Tried the same thing from iPhone browser, GoPro commands work fine
- Tried connecting ESP to my home WiFi, TCP on 80 to google.com works, GET google.com works, responds

Not sure where to go from here. All I know is that the firmware is old, but I doubt that has anything to do with it.
Any help is appreciated.

Oh, Happy New Year!

Code: Select allAT+CWMODE=1
no change

AT+CWJAP="ssidname","password"
OK

AT+CIPMUX=0
OK

AT+CIPSTART="TCP","10.5.5.9",80  // or 8080 for GoPro 3+
OK
Linked

AT+CIPSEND=61
>

GET http://10.5.5.9/bacpac/SH?t=password&p=%01 HTTP/1.1\r\n
SEND OK


... nothing happens.

Code: Select allAT+CIPSEND=63

SEND OK

OK


So possibly the '&amp;' is the problem. I am doing the AT commands directly from Arduino Serial Monitor and achoing them to ESP serial port.
