How to update firmware for Wifi Bee ESP V1.0

userHead fignewton83 2016-06-12 05:07:52 2308 Views3 Replies
I've got the esp8622 wifi module and the DFRobot Leonardo with the xbee socket. Everything works and I can connect my Leonardo to my wifi and communicate just fine. But I would like to update the firmware to support AT commands for NTP time query.

How do I go about updating the firmware? None of the tutorial match my situation. I've also got a USB FTDI to Serial adapter and the components to provide proper voltage to the module. Only problem is that the pinout on the wiki for this module doesnt match the pinout for a standalone esp8266 module so I dont know how to hook it up.

Someone point me in the right direction?

If you want to update the firmware, only need a FTDI and a wifi module, plug the wifi module into the FTDI , and then hook up it to your PC with a USB cable. Then you can update the module.

And sorry, you cant access all the gpio pins and the ch_pd pin .

2016-06-13 01:52:28 I want to update the firmware because espressif has updated the AT command set and there are some useful new commands.

Is this usb breakout board required to update this module? Or can I update it with a regular ftdi serial/usb module or even while still attached to my Leonardo? The wiki for this doesn't work for updating this module. The wiki tutorial uses an UNO with a separate shield and and ftdi module.

Is there a way to access all the gpio pins and the ch_pd pin on this module?

Why do you want to update firmware? You can setup and control the module completely with AT command through Serial, it originally support AT commad. Here is the link https://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php?title=SKU:TEL0092_WiFi_Bee-ESP8266_Wirelss_module#AT_command

And if you want to update firmware, you can flow the flowing link https://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php?title=SKU:TEL0092_WiFi_Bee-ESP8266_Wirelss_module#Update_Firmware
