Option to eliminate 3rd party AP? #2

Open yasiupl opened 5 years ago

yasiupl commented 5 years ago

Hi! I would like to ask if its possible to eliminate the need of having a 3rd party AP?

nopnop2002 commented 5 years ago

Sorry. I can't understand your English, because I'm not native. What is 3rd party AP?

yasiupl commented 5 years ago

Your code uses wifi router (Access Point) to connect two ESP8266's . Is it possible to connect two ESP's directly, without any router in the middle?

nopnop2002 commented 5 years ago

No. It's need any router in the middle. I have not tried, but you may be able to add another of ES8266 and make the 3rd ESP8266 as AP.

I tried esp_wifi_repeater. It's work fine.

I have edited your code to get it to work without any repeater. It's quite simple, but It's not as robust as I would like it to be. Do you mind taking a look? https://github.com/yasiupl/ESP-UART2UART-Bridge/
