Uno + ESP8266 on board - Getting anything to work

Projects Networking, Protocols, and Devices

Hello,
I purchased the UNO R3 + ESP8266 on board a while back on Aliexpress. For some reason I thought this was going to be simple to get going. How wrong I was!

After doing research and all I have the CH340g driver installed. I can use the IDE to switch to board "Generic ESP8266 Module". And I know the little DIP switches must be set to upload Arduino or ESP8266 code separately.

There are samples I have uploaded for Wifi Test. In some cases I got a 301 response which seems to be because the ESP8266 cannot switch to https protocol?

So, I think next I am looking for a simple example out there to upload an Arduino program and ESP8266 program and have them talk to one another? Is there such an example somewhere?

Also, another thing. I am using 115200 baud. Do I need to change? Do I need to update the ESP8266 firmware? In the IDE I see Expressif FW set to "nonos-sdk 2.2.1 +100 (190703)" - it seems to be the latest (?)

Thanks.
