#62800 Hi all,

First post , as the title suggest I'm looking for a little bit of advice from the ESP community. I'm currently trying to send messages between two TI MSP430 Launch pads via ESP8266 modules.

What I've done so far:

    Setup an tested the uART in a wired connection between the MSPs

    I've flashed the modules to the latest software from Espressif

    I've got an ESP8266-01 connected to the uART module on each MSP


I'm not 100% sure how to move forwards now.

I'm thinking;

Setup one ESP as an Access Point, and have the other connect to it.

How do you manage this though via the uART if you can only send a byte at a time? Would you have to parse AT commands into bytes an send them byte by byte?

Does anyone know of any Libraries that would be helpful and are compatible with the MSP430? I've had a look through the SDK's on the espressif web page, if you were to include an call these functions from the MSPs software how do these interact with the ESP or do they have to be run from the ESP?

Any help or advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks
