ESP8266 Workshop - Attempting useful things - Continued

See http://www.extragsm.com/blog/2014/12/03/connect-esp8266-to-raspberry-pi/

I used the B+ model and failed. I tried minicom and picocom so I will write this mornings effort off to experience.

There is an interesting follow up article at http://www.extragsm.com/blog/2014/12/16/use-esp8266-module-as-a-wireless-switcher/ Would have been nice follow up project, doing useful things with the RPi

Hope to have a cable tomorrow, so will go back to what I know works.

Hi Owen,

That can be made to work but I think it will need some custom code to use the esp8266 and talk through’Lua’.

The easiest way is probably to use a normal usb wifi module on the rPi, I think that will be easier.
