Re: Basically the ESP8266 is NOT a way to add WiFi to Arduin
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2016 7:28 amI have acheved exactly the same goal. An Arduino Uno board sending MQTT messages over the internet using and ESP-01 module as a wifi shield.
You first have to build the ESP WiFi Shield.
Then you can use the EspWiFi library.
Assuming you have an ESP-01 module with a recent firmware (1.1 or later) you don't need to flash any custom firmware.
