Q&A&C #2
Hahaha this comment made my day
Excellent explanation, very practical, and not long-winded like some of these 25 minute videos. To the point. Thank you!
first video in the context of tech presentation for a long time that really contains what the headline promised - and not a selfish video
that just says "ohh world - look at me"... thank you dude.
i am a student so sometimes its hard to afford these type modules. but your videos inspire me to cut down my pocket money and have a good time with electronics. thank you so much.
Your video is so well done and professional compared to all the other videos I have seen. Thank you, and keep it up!
Thank you for this super interesting video. I had ordered these a long time ago, but now I might start using them. Great channel!
Du machst das wirklich großartig ... und Deine Videos werden immer besser - vielen vielen Dank!
the review i was looking for it , DUDE that's an outstanding video i really loved it !!!!!
This is great, you should really have more subscribers for the quality tutorials that you offer. Keep up the good work. Could you make an extended tutorial for programming this with an Arduino.
Excellent. Thank you for sharing this. This was very helpful. Was just going to start experimenting with the ESP8266.
I love your method - super cheap and can be built from bits that every electronics hobyist has on his/her desk.
"$5 for wifi module..." *subscribes* "I put all the links to awesome projects in the description below..." *Subscribing intensifies*
waytoomanyllamas I almost broke my screen subscribing when he said that
So far this is the best video I seen for ESP8266. Going to get some to try out soon.
Thanks for the video. Concise and addresses the 3V signal voltage issue nicely.
@GreatScott! Man I loved this video thank you so much :) just letting you know I think it would be really cool if you could do a demo video where you hook this up to a home appliance and power the home appliance on via a command sent over wifi, please please it would be so cool!!
I included the module in my 7 segment internet display project
right on thanks man, I'll check it out :)

There is no real reason anymore to stick an 8266 onto an arduino as it can handle many tasks alone
I really like the way you say "5 volt kills it!"
TheZoli This kills the board
Make a weather station with a UV index that does a forecast lookup for your current location and also acts as a clock that has access to your Google calendar to remind you of upcoming appointments etc.
This would be handy to be able to plug into your car with a lithium battery to power it in sleep mode when the car ignition is off and a built in lithium charging module can charge the battery when you are on the road.
I love the video I never got into wifi, but now planning on it. Very informative thank you.
Great video. Love your accent. It's super helpful. Thanks for sharing.
GreatScott! Please create a ESP8266 plugged with humidity sensor to check the humidity of soil and then turning water on/off based on humidity. Very practical and will definitely help a lot of folks out there.
Why is there any dislike he teaching us stuff be thankful and drop a like on his video
I agree with you. Intentionally down-voting this video is despicable.
I suppose some people inadvertently down-voted it because they were tired, distracted, or drunk; others were probably bitter, others were probably nasty, and others were probably evil.
There are dislike bots that go onto many youtube videos and instantly dislike every one.
sometime it is faster to find your video in dislike list rather than in liked video.
What is the point in making a dis-like bot?
I agree but just looking around the internet will show you that there are sad people with low self worth who negatively comment and rate just about anything. Plus stupid bots created by want to be hackers. You could see a video of a puppy saving a bus full of women and children and some people will hate on it. I think those type of people also seem to post and rate a lot more often than normally balanced individuals. A ratio of 6000 to 60 is actually a very liked video.
useful description and very neat hack the one you showed with the male/female header bridge! keep it coming!
this seems impossible. But i think about two moths ago, i had never remotely expected that i was able to do what i did now with the arduino. Making advanced menu screens, multitasking, using libraries and such. So don't give up. Giving up is not winning, and winning is not giving up. We and y'all can do this. It takes a little patience and frustrations, and maybe you get depressed sometimes, but that's ok. It's part of the process of learning, part of life. ;-) Arduino's are amazing! And thanks GreatScott! for your content!
hey Scott, great vid! did u know you could just cut those onboard female connectors at 1:50 with side cutters instead of a hacksaw so you wouldn't get much plastic dust? same applies to cutting pcb - pair of tin cutters does the job w/o lots of residual dust. it isn't precise for fancy cuts but it is faster and cleaner that way imo
Great video, this really helped in getting my ESP8266 online. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this informative clip.
You are Great Scott!
It's really intriguing to watch your tutorial since I'm a newbie for doing module study research !!!! You made things got easier and you have a quite unique way of teaching 😆😆😆😆😆thumbs up from Taiwan 😁thanks once again for all your great sharing !!!
Thanks, you're welcome.
1:08 awesome! That's what I have been looking for! No more adding an arduino or (or RPi) to control a switch, pump, temp sensor, actuator etc. Simply get the ESP8266 IP and control its GPIO pins directly from a single page... Ideally one could connect to multiple modules at the same time to control a pool of ESP8266 modules at once rather than having to access them one by one by typing their respective IPs in the browser and load the control UI for just one module each time wanting to control a module. Can't wait for that to happen, then IoT will really take off! :)
Brought 2PCS of these wifi modules! Awesome!
... great video, very informative, even for a newbie like me. Many thanks for sharing!
I was wondering where you got the specific perforated board you used in this video. Great tutorial!
Nice Review. The ESP is a nice piece of hardware. I also did some Projects with it.
Thanks for putting that together!
Excellent tutorial. Clear, complete, and inspiring. I'll be trying this with the olduino soon.
Dope content, keep it up and stay blessed!!!
this is awesome, i just ordered for just 2.95.. can you believe that :D i cant wait for it to arrive :D
Srg you probably ordered from ALI express, I bet your still waiting for it :))
@@briank3321 Nahh, I passed an exam with that one.
Glad I'm subscribed to this guy! :D
I just discovered your channel. Apologize for necroposting, but I absolutely love your videos.
Nice video. I juat ordered a pack of these from Ebay and I am excited to see what I can control. I teach an electronics class in my high school and so I am also excited to get my students involved in the internet of things
good tutorial! I received my esp8266 December 22, 2014. A few comments so far:
I made several mistakes with the voltage divider. And it is my profession. Beware. fortunally i did not kill them. My advice order a logic level converter with it for only around 2 euros.
Remember TX on RX and RX ON TX.
I also noticed that the new esp8266 already sets on a baudrate of 9600.
Finally, the AT commands only work with capital letters. And the serial monitor should be at LF and CR are otherwise the ESP8266 is not communicating.
Anyway all credits for great scott!
If you're using putty and enter doesn't work, press CTRL+M wait a second then press CTRL+J
I have one of these. You can turn on an LED in my room from anywhere in the world.
I used javascript, php and html to accomplish this. Sooo cool and fun. Took me 3 sleepless nights
Perfect video to start with awesome cheap wifi module................
thanks for the video !
"how to handle them probably"
love the vid
joshua craft I’m glad he decided to tell us how to handle them. I wasn’t sure if he would.

@GreatScott!
Man, i really LOVE your videos. i was interested in electronic Stuff for years, but your videos inspired me to play around a while back.
i'm still more into try 'n' error, but i already built some nice LED projects. (i finished 2 Arduino controlled LED Cubes - heck yeah!)
But i still have one question - where do you get these big Perfboards? i just find them in smaller sizes like 4x6 or 7x9.
I'd love to build your "LED Sign VU meter" (with a different Text) but i didnt find a perfboard with a fitting size :/
I'd love a hint :)
Besides that, thanks for your GREAT videos, i love them :)
I absolutely love this man
Hi Mr scott...
I started watching your videos last week.
They are amazing.
Is that FTDI board necessary to use 8266?
Great job with the video. Very impressive.
Very nice! Thanks for this, I will buy one.
Great video of Great Scott. Though nowadays esp development boards like NodeMCU are more common and easy to use.
To see how he started makes me way more confident about my on projects
Truely an awesome and useful video the best success ful projects for me
THANKS A LOT! KEEP UP WITH SUCH VIDEOS
The ftdi chip can be wired for 3v operation, no level conversion needed! Connect its 3v regulated output to the vio (io power input) pin. You may have to cut and jumper your FTDI board, adafruit ones can be rejumpered.
Well made video. Thank you. I will be buying a few of these.
Thanks loads! Just bought a few.
Thanks Scott! Gunna give my troublesome bluetooth modules the ass if I can get the esp8266 to work.
Thank you so much it helped me a lot!
i feel like Arnold narrated this! lol
great tutorials as always .
I thought that strange a Scott talking like Arnold.. good job!
When soldering short runs of headers, sometimes it is better to put the pins in the long way, solder, and then push the plastic down. When I do this I place the finished adapter on a breadboard, and press the adapter down firmly to push the plastic up to the PCB. Saves mess and burnt fingers :-)
Extremely clear and handy! Though, nowadays it's far more easier to use the ESP without Arduino, there are multiple ESP based devboards and you can program them with the Arduino IDE.
i cant get my head around the arduino coding and how would i go around using the arduino ide?

Love your videos, I was wondering if you had a wiring diagram for this video. Would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, this video really helps a lot.
If you install tasmota firmware on it, you will have a big library you can work with. I use this module to control a relais to put on/off lights.
Thanks for that video mate. I just figured out of these breakouts a couple of hours ago and your video gives me a great spot to start thinking about new projects!
One question: do you use the voltage divider for power supply as well? I red that you shouldn't do this anytime.
Klaus Daume Correct, a voltage divider does not work as a power supply.
Amazing video! I loved it! I'm thinking of buying 5m of RGB led strips to backlight my desk with, and I'm going to connect it to an Arduino. The Arduino will act as a tcp server on my home network, and my desktop will connect to that IP address via a python program, which also runs a webpage hosted on my home wifi, that I can use with my phone, to control the RGB colour from my phone :) hope that makes sense lol
Nice. Thanks for uploading.
Nice video, Scot. Most FTDI serial breakout boards have 3.3V outputs. And, of course, most of them will have it labeled as 3.3V. I see yours is labeled simply as VCC, but I think it's actually 3.3V not 5V.
great Scott! nice and useful vid
"I hooked everything up as I described it before". You show the circuit for 1s. Do you have a circuit schematics?
What is the sound in the end ? :) I like it. You do really great videos.
Wow, this is huge . . . add WiFi to your imbedded project for less than $5 with the benefit of SDK Dev software + multiple IO's! My current WiFi shields cost $50 :(
You did a great mod to make it breadboard friendly for initial prototyping.
Looking forward to putting it on my remote garden moisture sensors. Thank You for sharing.
It would be awesome to have a video about using this little board as an arduino, like "how to modify and then upload custom firmware on ESP8266 board" :)
Fantastic video!! Thank you!!
Awesome, I'd like more videos regarding the ESP8266 :)...Especially I'd be interested in its application for home-automation (temperature&humidity monitoring, led control, switching some remote control-switches)..A great arduino project for home automation which would work with it (but doesn't have yet support for ESP8266) is "Souliss".
I'd also be interesting in if its possible to use the ESP8266 as a transparent serial link for getting telemetry from a rc plane to the ground. :)
Hello sir,
I liked this video.
And i want to see another video on this subject with an example.
Hello great Scott
could you please make a vidoe on ftdi breakouts and which ones to buy.
kind regards
GreatScott is titled great because his videos have superiority over others. Scott, please make some more vids for esp8266 01 that might display rss feed etc.
I really love your videos !!
Awesome explanation. Create something where we are able to send data to the azure Iot hub using DHT11 and esp8266 module in Uno.
You should do another video on the ESP8266. Espressif (company behind ESP8266) release their SDK and now you can program the microcontroller on the ESP itself using the Arduino IDE. No need for any microcontroller besides the ESP8266 module anymore :)
I was just going to ask why exactly he bothered with the arduino when you can program the 8266 but i didnt know the SDK wasnt always available.
that's because extra hardware takes extra space and costs. all i want is control a relay via internet. why would i need an arduino if i have a esp wifi card?
@@ArgeKumadan Ali, I need to do the same, but 4 relays, wifi signal - have you accomplished this ? If so, could you please share with me ? I'm an electronic tech from the 1970"s but not that good and having a hard time figuring this out please Thanks wc.baron@gmail.com
Great video, man!
Love your videos. Feel like Arnold Schwarzenegger is teaching me electronics.
Great tutorial. Thank you
It is a kind request to make a video on the comparison of all wifi boards... Thanks
Great video!
Enjoyed it very much.
Thank you . excelent presentation. may I be so bold as to suggest that the board adapter be made to have the voltage converters ?
Is there any way you could make a video on using the Gpio pins with a newer one, and show how to not use a microcontoller? And this is a great video
very helpful! thank you!
Wow, Amazing Demonstration
kkkk very interesting!!!😃
that really good. for that of request side i want you to make game controller with that wifi module i have seen game pad with HID Bluetooth but that feel expensive for over all project
thanks
in situations like 2:00, i completely extend the pins in the black plastic, and insert pins through other side, to avoid touching the plastic with soldering iron
@GreatScott I am looking to make a camera follow focus using stepper motors x 2 and could do with some help in the most efficient way to do this, I purchased 2 x nema 17 motors, ardudio and a few lcd screens, would love a tutorial on how to make an advanced version, I would send you all the required parts if you could make the video on how to do it.
Although I do not understand most of the electronics you use I AM ADDICTED TO YOUR VIDEOS, :)
you should remove the plastic to solder the pins, afterwards you can place the plastic again
+atm2042 That way he would never get the pins straight. I would personally rather use stripboard instead of a perfboard and an SMD version of the socket, which would make it a bit more comfortable, but either way is fine.
Awesome !!!! Worked For Me.
thank you for making this video, very helpful and direct.
thanks agian
There is an easier way to solder the female pin headers on the PCB, just slide the pins all the way to the longer side then stick them in the holes from the the top side of the PCB and solder them on the copper side.
Hey scott wieder nen cooles Video. Hab mal ne allgemeine Frage. Man kann ja verschiedene Firmware auf den esp8266 flashen. Z. B. Das at comand oder die von NodeMCU. Wenn ich jetzt aber mit der arduino ide ein Programm in c schreibe und es drauf flashe, überschreibe ich dann die Firmware??
greatscott...,u r 'd'ucking help me,2 days discovering what the problem,when i send 'AT' i only receive 'AT' too,and of course the problem only the line ending,i used no line ending 😅thank u very much scott :)
