ESP8266 Community Forum

I've just received my first esp8266-12 device and powered it up. it has created a wifi access point called AL-THINKER-D75C73

I've connected to the access point, now before I start righting new firmware for it. what does the access point do? it must have some function I can play with it. Like does it have a webserver or something.

thanks

Aside from offering the access point, it doesn't do much without configuration.

You can make other things join the access point, and then open server-side connections via the AT command set... but there's no built-in web server with the AT command interpreter.

Assuming it comes with the AT firmware, here's a list of commands you should have available: https://room-15.github.io/blog/2015/03/ ... reference/
