I am using it with a mega so I could leave those dip switches permanently off and, I assume, connect the ESP-13 Tx and Rx pins to Tx3 and Rx3 on the mega......with a few tweaks to the library code.

What firmware did you put on the ESP?

Never mind I figured it out - it requires the 1.1.... version of the firmware.

And finally I can connect to it via 10.0.0.79.

Thanks for that any how pert.

Now I wonder if all this will work with these ESP shields from ebay, because I have had a bitch of a time trying to figure out how to make one of these work....without any success what so ever.
