# WiFiEsp

With an ESP8266 board, WiFiEsp library allows an Arduino board to connect to the internet.
It can serve as either a server accepting incoming connections or a client making outgoing ones.
The WiFiEsp library is very similar to the Arduino [WiFi](http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFi) and [Ethernet](http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Ethernet) libraries, and many of the function calls are the same.

Supports ESP SDK version 1.1.1 and above (AT version 0.25 and above).

## Features

- APIs compatible with standard Arduino WiFi library.
- Use AT commands of standard ESP firmware (no need to flash a custom firmware).
- Support hardware and software serial ports.
- Configurable tracing level.

## Wiring

The WiFiEsp library has been designed to work with the [ESP WiFi shield](http://www.instructables.com/id/Cheap-Arduino-WiFi-Shield-With-ESP8266/).
It is a cheap version of the Arduino WiFi shield that uses an ESP-01 module to provide networking capabilities to Arduino boards.

## Examples

- [ConnectWPA](https://github.com/bportaluri/WiFiEsp/blob/master/examples/ConnectWPA/ConnectWPA.ino) - Demonstrates how to connect to a network that is encrypted with WPA2 Personal
- [WebClient](https://github.com/bportaluri/WiFiEsp/blob/master/examples/WebClient/WebClient.ino) - Connect to a remote webserver
- [WebClientRepeating](https://github.com/bportaluri/WiFiEsp/blob/master/examples/WebClientRepeating/WebClientRepeating.ino) - Make repeated HTTP calls to a webserver
- [WebServer](https://github.com/bportaluri/WiFiEsp/blob/master/examples/WebServer/WebServer.ino) - Serve a webpage from the WiFi shield
- [WebServerAP](https://github.com/bportaluri/WiFiEsp/blob/master/examples/WebServerAP/WebServerAP.ino) - Serve a webpage from the WiFi shield starting a local Access Point
- [WebServerLed](https://github.com/bportaluri/WiFiEsp/blob/master/examples/WebServerLed/WebServerLed.ino) - Turn on and off a led from a webpage
- [UdpNTPClient](https://github.com/bportaluri/WiFiEsp/blob/master/examples/UdpNTPClient/UdpNTPClient.ino) - Query a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server using UDP

## Supported APIs

Most of the standard Arduino WiFi library methods are available. Refer to the [WiFi library page](http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFi) for more details.
