Hi to everyone!
I'm new to esp8266's world. I need to use this board as standalone access point, so i need to connect to it without use an external router.
Once connected i need to receive some telnet messages.
I have no problem to use the board as web server with this code, but i can't read anything on the serial port:
but when i modify it in order to use it with telnet connection i'm not able to establish the telnet connection (tried with putty and with an android phone with ad hoc app):
Which is the error?
Thanks in advance,
Andrea
