ESP8266 serial.println problem with Arduino Rx

Hello all,

I would like to control the arduino nano with esp8266 via serial (rx/tx)

Im uploaded the arduinoESP IDE webserver exampe to the ESP-01, but changed GPIO control to Serial.println.
At the arduino (nano) side, im uploaded a basic Serial.readString program.

My problem is, when arduino nano serial monitor print the ESP string, its print 3 time.
I mean ESP send oncethis:
Serial.println("on"),
then Arduino serial monitor show this:
on

on

on

Any idea?

Arduino code:

int ledPin = 13;
String readString;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); 
}

void loop() {
  while (Serial.available()) {
    delay(3);  
    char c = Serial.read();
    readString += c; 
  }
  if (readString.length() >0) {
    Serial.println(readString);
    if (readString == "on")     
    {
      digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
    }
    if (readString == "off")
    {
      digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
    }
    readString="";
  } 
}

ESP code:

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

const char* ssid = "***";
const char* password = "***";

// Create an instance of the server
// specify the port to listen on as an argument
WiFiServer server(80);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  delay(10);

  // prepare GPIO2
  pinMode(2, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(2, 0);
  
  // Connect to WiFi network
  Serial.println();
  Serial.println();
  Serial.print("Connecting to ");
  Serial.println(ssid);
  
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }
  Serial.println("");
  Serial.println("WiFi connected");
  
  // Start the server
  server.begin();
  Serial.println("Server started");

  // Print the IP address
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}

void loop() {
  // Check if a client has connected
  WiFiClient client = server.available();
  if (!client) {
    return;
  }
  //Serial.println("new client");
  while(!client.available()){
    delay(1);
  }
  String req = client.readStringUntil('\r');
  //Serial.println(req);
  client.flush();
  
  // Match the request
  int val;
  if (req.indexOf("/gpio/0") != -1){
    val = 0;
    Serial.println("on");
}
  else if (req.indexOf("/gpio/1") != -1){
    val = 1;
    Serial.println("off");
  }
  else {
    //Serial.println("invalid request");
    client.stop();
    return;
  }
  // Set GPIO2 according to the request
  digitalWrite(2, val);
  client.flush();
  // Prepare the response
  String s = "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nContent-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n<!DOCTYPE HTML>\r\n<html>\r\nGPIO is now ";
  s += (val)?"high":"low";
  s += "</html>\n";
  // Send the response to the client
  //client.print(s);
  //delay(1);
  //Serial.println("Client disonnected");
}

Ok, problem solved, my ESP8266 modul was wrong.

You may have been in a situation where the "on" was being echoed back and forth between the arduino and the ESP8266.
