Hi ,
I am using the WIFIEsp library with the ESP8266 wifi module but I keep getting the following timeout message every now and then:
[WiFiEsp] Connecting to 192.168.10.210
[WiFiEsp] TIMEOUT: 5
The arduino then appears busy and unresponsive for a while . The actual number (5 above) varies every time.
Anyone knows why this is happening and how to fix it?
the AT firmware pushes the received data over serial without control. if there is more data then the size of the RX serial buffer and are not read immediately and fast, the buffer overflows, bytes are lost and don't arrive in full count. the library waits for the rest of the bytes until timeout. the number is the count of bytes miising
So there is incoming traffic from the wifi module to arduino at a rate which is faster than the serial connection can handle?

do you use 9600 baud? it slows down the esp8266.
