Hello all
After wading through what seems like 1000 different types/variations of ESP wifi modules, I still have not really found what I am looking for.
My Teensy based project reads .TXT data off an SD card.
I would like to add the capability of sending this data by wifi from my PC. Never tried any wifi stuff.
It's a very compact project, and so I am trying to keep the footprint small.
I dug out a spare ESP8266MOD module that I have never tried. I will use that for prototyping and getting my head around how this will work.
But, most of these ESP modules include a whole pile of IO's etc that I really don't need. I don't even need a level shifter or 3.3v regulator.
My circuit is running entirely at 3.3v already, and I plan to add a second 3.3v regulator just for the wifi module.
All I am looking for is a basic wifi module that can receive data and transfer that data to my Teensy over serial.
Or, do all these modules have all their IO's brought out as standard practice?
In a totally ideal world, the module would not need it's own programming, but I suspect that isn't possible.
Any advice? At the moment, I expect I am going to have an ESP-01 or similar, with most of its functions redundant.
Thank you
