EspPlug

This board is intended to allow direct interfacing between ESP8266 modules and your computer via the USB serial port.

EspPlug, revision A board

Serial parameters

Default module settings are 9600,N,8,1 for older firmware versions and 115200,N,8,1 for newer.

Jumpers

JP1 and JP2 on the bottom of the board control GP0 pin of ESP8266 module. At most one jumper should be soldered at any time. If connected to GND, ESP8266 module will enter firmware update mode every time it is plugged in. If GP0 is connected to DTR#, firmware update can be programmatically controlled; i.e. when DTR is high, firmware update will be enabled and when DTR is low, normal operation will proceed. Both these jumpers can be left disconnected if firmware upgrade functionality is not needed.

Commands

All commands have prefix AT and have to end with .

AT

Replies with OK.

Example
AT

OK
ATEstate

Turn character echoing off (0) or on (1).

Echo will be turned on by default and every time device is reset.

state:

  • 0 - Echo off
  • 1 - Echo on
Example
ATE0

OK
AT+RST

Reset the module.

Example
AT+RST

OK
c_â–’â–’RSâ–’â–’FjSâ–’fJ[â–’â–’â–’
[Vendor:www.ai-thinker.com Version:0.9.2.4]

ready
AT+GMR

Shows the firmware version.

Example
AT+GMR
0018000902-AI03

OK
AT+CIUPDATE

Upgrades the firmware from cloud. Must be connected as client to access point with Internet access. Upgrade itself takes couple of minutes.

If firmware upgrade fails, at Electrodragon Blog you can see instructions for manual firmware update and a link to binaries needed for repair. To enter bootloader mode short between GP0 and GND will be needed (exposed on board's bottom as jumper link). Alternative firmwares and tools can be found on Electrodragon Documentation page.

Example
AT+CIUPDATE
+CIPUPDATE:1
+CIPUPDATE:2
+CIPUPDATE:3
+CIPUPDATE:4
