Re: How to read current time from internet using ESP8266?
Posted: Tue Jun 27, 2017 5:02 pmHi, everyone,
I am trying to retrieve the current timestamp (or simply a date/time pair) using the ESP8266-01 WiFi module wired up with an Arduino Uno rev 3. To do this, I must not program directly the ESP8266, but instead I have to program the Arduino in order to communicate with the WiFi module, send a request to a server (e.g. to nist.time.gov or time.is or whatever you prefer) and receive the response with the date and time value.
After many researches on the web, I am not able to achieve this stuff. Does anyone, please, could help me? Any suggestion or code snippet would be very appreciated.
I tried the AT commands listed above, but they doesn't works for me.
Thanks in advance!!
Filippo
