I am not 100% sure the parity and stop bits stuff, it seems my pl2303 doesn't understand all of them.

From the commit log:

Add uart parameters configuration.

Checkout these commands:
- uart-baud baudrate
- uart-data databits
- uart-stop stopbits
- uart-parity parity (which is none, odd or even; space/mark not supported)

After making changes, write the config (cw or config-write) then restart
(reset command) to activate the changes.

- Fri Jun 19, 2015 12:58 pm #20950 Documentation is more or less finished now, see the README.md file.

I have made a "release" (2) on github that includes pre-compiled binaries. See here: release 2 on github.

Please give feedback!

- Sat Jun 20, 2015 6:49 pm #21060 Hey there, i am looking into the viability of using one of the esp8266 chips to make a wifi serial adaptor which seems to be pretty much what your project is based around.

was wondering if you could confirm if i should continue down this path.

my goal is to have a unit (possibly battery powered) that i can plug into the serial ports on PBX or network switches / APs that i need to log and occasionally interact with for work.
Which i can then connect my laptop to the SSID of the ESP unit and putty/telnet into the serial port over IP.

does this seem like a possibility using these units and your code?

cheers, Daniel.
