Hi Everyone, I have made a few things using knockoff arduino nano and arduino uno boards. I'd like to make a project which would connect to the internet and call IFTTT webpages.
I figured maybe this wifi board (MCU-ATmega328P Wifi-ESP8266 + 8Mb flash) would be a good option for me.
So far, I've downloaded the drivers in order for the board/port would be recognized. I have also set dip-switches 3 and 4 to "on" and loaded a sketch onto it which has the code for my project with some placeholders for where the www calls would get made. The sketch runs and funtions as I want it to.
The next part I have no idea where to start at.
How do I get the code onto it for it to connect to my wireless router via wifi, and how do I program it to fire off these webpage calls? I'm assuming it has something to do with the ESP8266 portion of the board where I believe will require me switching the dip-switches so that 5, 6, and 7 are in the "on" position.
Is there any kind of tutorial which shows how to load that stuff and get it to talk with the sketch I already have on the board which will trigger the calls to the websites?
Much thanks to all - this is my very first post on this site.
