I am not able to use esp8266 wifi module on arduino uno using software serial, the problem is that i am not getting correct output. But i am able work with Arduino mega which has additional hardware serial tx-rx pairs. how to make it work on uno?
I used lm1117 voltage divider for esp8266, tried other voltage dividers(1k+2k), nothing seems to work on uno and nano.
Here is the output i am getting
AT+RST

my esp8266-01 is not responding to AT commands when i upload a blink sketch. I have to re flash it with some other firmware which i got from the internet to make the AT commands work i am new in ESP modules ...so is it common or have i done anything wrong the connections are shown below while flashing..
i used an arduino uno for flashing
TX-TX
RX-RX
VCC- 3.3v external supply
CH_PD-VCC(The CH_PD pin in my module was named as "EN")
RST-VCC
GPIO0-GND
GND-GND
the blink sketch in the example is working fine but not responding to AT commands while blinking...
this is what the serial monitor outputs at 115200 NL&CR
//some garbage values//

You need to flash the ESP8266 with the AT firmware in-order to use the AT Commands.
Download The AT firmware and flash it using esptool.py or NodeMCU flasher.
As soon as I am connecting 3.3 v from Arduino to ch_pd and vcc of esp8266, the port connected to Arduino becomes unavailable. Can you let me know how to proceed. I am using pin 2 of Arduino to tx of esp8266 and pin 3 to rx.
ESP8266 require much current. Maybe regulator of arduino is not capable of powering much current and thatswhy its output voltage drops when you connect ch_pd and vcc.
Try using another power source.
I've got my sim900 module working with arduino by using their software serial library, however, I want to eliminate arduino from the equation and have serial communication directly to sim900 module.
I'm using putty as my terminal emulator. It's serial is configured to COM1 19200 8 N 1 the same as device manager configuration for this port.
I connect straight from hardware serial on my PCs motherboard into serial-to-ttl interface board which connects to sim900 module. The board has 4 pins - VCC GND TX RX. They're all connected to my sim900 hardware serial as follows: VCC=5V GND=GND TX=TX RX=RX (Yes I know that it's always actually TX=RX and RX=TX, but when I connect it that way my interface board doesn't blink any led to indicate a transfer whereas it does when I connect TX=TX and RX=RX). The switch on the module is set to hardware serial pins as well.
So the only thing that happens when I send AT commands such as AT or ATI and press enter is that puttys cursor comes back to the beginning of command that I typed. No response.
I'm thinking that I'm not doing something that the arduinos software serial port is doing when it sends commands to sim900.
Can anyone help please ? It's literally been days of trying different configurations with no results.
In that time besides getting sim900 working with arduino software serial I verified that the hardware serial port on my motherboard is working correctly and the interface board is working correctly as well.
I am trying to do a project based on arduino and Android in which I want to use ultrasonic sensors and Bluetooth module hc-05 . I want to detect any obstacle using ultrasonic and send it's distance to Android app using Bluetooth. I am completely new to arduino and have never used it before . How could I connect both the Bluetooth and ultrasonic sensor to arduino uno board without using breadboard? Is it possible to connect both of them without using breadboard and just the jumper wires?
You can connect the Bluetooth Module and Ultrasonic Sensor with jumper wires directly to the Arduino.
Depending upon the Ultrasonic Sensor you are interfacing, there must be a library or a sample code. You can tweak the code to get the distance in your desired format or variable.
As far as the Bluetooth is concerned, you can operate it at 3.3v or 5v depending upon the module you use. Most of the Bluetooth module support both 3.3v and 5v - as they have voltage regulators on their break out. I have used these and they work on 3.3v as well as 5v
For instance, check the Bluetooth HC - 05 Module in the below link :
http://www.amazon.in/Verve-VTA009-Bluetooth-Module-HC-05/dp/B00S15XTG8?tag=googinhydr18418-21&tag=googinkenshoo-21&ascsubtag=7a58e842-4c10-40bf-a48f-339edef372a7
For implementing the Bluetooth communication, prefer using the Software Serial. If you connect the Bluetooth HC 05's Rx and Tx to the Arduino's Hardware UART Pins, there can be unpredictable results. I have experienced that using HC05 with Software Serial is reliable. Additionally, you can use the Serial Monitor to debug your code at the same time. I mean, you can send the same data on Software Serial and the Serial port and check if things are as desired.
You can implement, the HC-05 Software Serial at 9600 baudrate. 9600 is the default baudrate on most HC 05 Modules.
For developing the Arduino code and testing it, you can use a terminal client like PuTTY on you computer. You need to establish a bluetooth connection between your computer and HC 05.
HC-05 runs at 3.3V, make sure you do level conversion from 5V to 3.3V using a zener diode. Or buy a level converter if you are new to electronics. If you don't, there is a good chance you will blow up the HC-05. If you could add a photo we can see if its already done on the Bluetooth module, then you need not worry about level conversion
HC-05 is basically a wireless serial port over bluetooh. On arduino create a software serial post using the library SoftwareSerial and send the sensor data to that serial port
There are libraries available for popular HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, if that is the sensor you are using.
For testing on android many app are availables like Bluetooh Terminal, you can receive the data sent from arduino.
Yes the whole project can be done without breadboard using connecting wires.
I am in the middle of my project, and I am now trying to make a connection between two XBees, exactly like in this the YouTube video XBee Basics - Lesson 2 - Simple Chat Program Between Two XBees in AT Mode. I setup the network in the X-CTU first, and now I am trying to connect the XBees with Arduinos.
In the Arduino programming software, the side of the router works fine - I can see in the serial monitor that it's sending the "Hello World" messages, but on the side of the coordinator, it does not receive any massages.
Platform:
Arduino IDE version 1.03-1.05.
XBee Series 2
Arduino Uno
I suppose that the "Hello word" message on the router side is due to a Serial.print() instruction that you have included for debbuging purpose.
Arduino Uno like my Arduino nano have only one serial port (the usb) and if you use it for power purpose or debugging or transmitting data to the PC it is considered busy and anything connected to the pin 0 and 1 will be ignored.
Serial: 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). Used to receive (RX) and transmit (TX) TTL serial data. These pins are connected to the corresponding pins of the ATmega8U2 USB-to-TTL Serial chip. it is from arduino site).
You need to create a software serial port with the library SoftwareSerial (is it included in Arduino IDE since version 1.0)
to call the library and define the software serial port you can use this piece of code
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
uint8_t rxxbee = 2;
uint8_t txxbee = 3;
SoftwareSerial Serial_xbee(rxxbee,txxbee);
Rember to connect the RX of the arduino to TX of the XBee and viceversa.
