Hello. I'm trying to build a project that uses a esp8266 to make everything with arduino wireless and through IoT. I really don't have any special idea for it but there are few things I know. I want to have a esp8266 connected to my arduino. Then have a web panel to have serial monitor and be able to upload codes. Then I want to send the code to esp and the program it to arduino. I also want to have access to the serial monitor with the configured baud rate. I did some research and found that I can use avrdude to send the hex file through an IP address but is there any way to add a built-in programmer to the esp8266 without needing a third-party programmer like avrdude. I'd be glad if someone could help me and at least give me an outline of the project. I've got some experience working with arduino and esp8266 and done some projects but I don't have any idea about this one. Thanks !
Hi @farbodxxx1389. I think your project might be simplified if you use a single Arduino board instead of an ESP8266 and another Arduino board as you currently plan. If you select an appropriate board, you can use the OTA upload feature of Arduino Cloud to upload sketches to your board through the network:
Hello, Thank you for your response but I want to specifically use one of the esp boards and that better be esp8266. I'm gonna design a PCB for it, however but for testing purposes I'm gonna use the 8266 cause the micro is gonna be the same. I found an the built-in example named "Arduino-ISP" but I dunno if that's exactly what I want.
