Send strings via ESP8266 and NodeMCU

Alright I have to keep this short and snappy so here goes:

I need to send a string from my MPU6050 from one arduino as a set of values in a string and receive it via direct communication to the receiver end. However I am not so familiar with the module or its coding, as well as with wifi comms in general.

How may I go about doing this? At the moment I am looking into the function reference

Also is this a working wiring for what I want to do? The NodeMCU is standalone, as all it needs to do is receive data, but I have one of those generic ESP8266

your setup is not clear to me, how many Arduinos do you have ?

where is the MPU6050 connected ?

what "string" do you want to send ?

am not sure what you are trying to do but using an ESP8266 (WiFi for wireless data transfer) would seem overkill to me.

i am currently using a nRF24L01 on a TX Arduino (as controller for sending PID tuning parameters) and another nRF24L01 module on the RX Arduino which is the vehicle (and MPU6050) that needs said PID parameters.

so far it seems to be working just fine for me - the data transmission (and reception).
