Description

What is the ESP-13 Protection Board? The ESP-13 Protection Board is an expansion board for the ESP8266 that provides serial Wi-Fi connectivity. This component allows electronic projects to access the internet, making it possible to create automated systems. Features – Protection board for ESP8266 – Serial Wi-Fi connection – Optimized for projects requiring robust and reliable connectivity What does it do? The board is ideal for creating a simple Web Server, such as displaying a welcome message. It is compatible with Arduino and ESP8266. Tutorial: How to use ESP-13 The ESP-13 is a protection board for the ESP8266, perfect for projects requiring Wi-Fi connectivity and robust design. What you need – ESP-13 – Arduino or compatible – USB cable – 10kΩ resistor (for pull-up) Steps 1. Installation: Download the USB driver for ESP8266. 2. Connection: Connect the ESP-13 to the Arduino board using pins 3V3, GND, TX, RX, VCC and GND. 3. Configuration: Use a code editor like Arduino IDE. 4. Insert the following code to connect the ESP8266: “`cpp #include const char* ssid = “network_name”; const char* password = “network_password”; void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); WiFi.begin(ssid, password); while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) { delay(1000); Serial.println(“Connecting…”); } Serial.println(“Connected!”); } void loop() {}“` 5. Upload the code to Arduino. 6. Check Wi-Fi connection on serial monitor. 7. Refer to datasheet for further settings. 8. Configure Web Server: “`cpp #include ESP8266WebServer server(80); void handleRoot() { server.send(200, “text/html”,

Welcome to ESP8266

“); } void setup() { server.on(“/”, handleRoot); server.begin(); Serial.println(“Listening…”); } void loop() { server.handleClient(); } “` 9. Upload the Web Server code. 10. Access the Web Server via browser. Mini-project Create a simple Web Server that displays a welcome message. Common errors – Incorrectly connecting pins – Entering incorrect network password – Improperly configuring the Web Server – Not using an ESP8266 USB driver.
