Firmware for radio for PiKoder RC receiver

udpRC_ESP8266-01

udpRC_ESP8266-01 Receiver (RX) firmware for ESP8266 (ESP-01)

Overview

The ESP8266-01 SoC Board is applied as transparent interface between WLAN and the PiKoder/SSC's or PiKoder/PPM's UART. In this setup the ESP8266 would establish an access point (ap) with the follwowing default settings: SSID: "PiKoder_wRX", Password: "password". Your Android(TM) smart device's PiKoder app such as e.g. "udpRC" or "udpRC4UGV" (available at the google play store) would connect to this ap as a client.
For more information please refer to www.pikoder.com.

Features

The sketch provides for a command line interface for programming the SSID, password and the baud rate. If you enter '$?' the controller will display the current settings (default baudrate is 9600 Bd).

The SSID can be changed to 'new-ssid' by entering '$S=new-ssid' (default: PiKoder_wRX), the password is customized thorugh '$P=new-password' (default: password). To adjust the baudrate to your application enter '$B=nnnn' with nnnn representing the new baudrate (e.g. 115200).
