We can improve this sketch further by waiting for the ESP module to reply to each command, making sure that it really did receive the command. Note that this is a very simple sketch that sends out AT commands in succession to establish a WiFi connection.
Note that these commands must be sent in correct order from the Arduino to the ESP module. For our purpose, which is to connect to the Internet, we need only a specific set of AT commands. The whole list of AT commands is overwhelming. Also note that for the ESP module to run correctly, it must have its own 3. In the diagram above, I used a simple voltage divider to reduce the 5 V logic levels. Thus, we must not connect the Arduino output pins to the ESP pins directly. To make the Arduino connect to the Internet, it needs a modem.
Actually, I have already written up various articles on how to do this. This is unsurprising given that these boards can replace the Arduino without a steep learning curve. The ESP has been a blessing to makers who need to connect their Arduino to the Internet on the cheap. Arduino Stack Exchange works best with JavaScript enabled.Microcontroller Tutorials.
