I'm currently using esp-link firmware to send data from uart via WiFi. It works well, I could see uart data on 192.168.4.1:23

My question is: how I could put data from WiFi to uart? So, I need something reversed to esp-link.

Thanks for any ideas!

So, simply type stuff in your telnet client, it should goes out.

I am trying to do something that *should* be simple... use the esp wifi as a "remote control" similar to the way you would use bluetooth. Either in AP or station mode. I must use android devices, though, to do the controlling (long story) so thus using REST and browser instead of MQTT, telnet, etc.

If I could set up espduiono similar to the way aREST https://github.com/marcoschwartz/aREST works, that'd be what I'm after.

Flashed the firmware for my present project, which replaces the serial connection to wifi. Everything is working fine.
i can control the 8051 microcontroller through wifi from my PC.

How to send and receive data from a website, through this ESP8266 with this firmware. Searched in net and there are examples only with arduino. I found that it can be done through Rest protocol. I enabled the Slip on serial port and i dont know which command i need to send through the serial port to GET/POST requests.

Thanks
