Hi
I want to transfer the data (input texts) to be printed on the printer which is controlled by a shieled Arduino mega wirelessly. I'm facing a lot of problem as I'm new with ESP8266MOD module.
Your topic does not seem to indicate problems with the IDE and hence has been moved to a more suitable location on the forum.
You will have to describe those problems.

An apology for the incomplete text earlier.
To talk about my problem, I should say I don't have any idea on how to start the integration process. I'm working on an open-source project (a simple printer). And me and my group is working on making it wireless with the help of ESP8266. However, I couldn't figure out what to do?, and where to start from? Like, I don't get how the data that used to transfer from USB cable can be transferred via WiFi. I hereby asking for help in my project. I would be really very grateful to you sir.
Hi @neerean. Some years ago, I did a project using an ESP8266 module to add Wi-Fi communication capabilities while running the primary sketch on an AVR-based Arduino board like your Mega. At that time, I found the best way to manage the ESP8266 module from the sketch code was this library
You can install it via the Arduino IDE Library Manager. After doing that, you will find a collection of example sketches that demonstrate the use of the library under the File > Examples > WiFiEsp menu in Arduino IDE.
My experience with this was quite a few years ago so it is possible a better alternative is now available. If so, the other forum helpers will probably know about it and comment here.

Thank you so much for the reply. I will probably try whatever is there.
