This repository was created to enable WiFi-based, serial-like communication from ESP32 microcontrollers to PCs, for simple wireless logging and debugging purposes.
On the client side (ESP32), it supports the print. println, and write methods of a wired Serial interface.
On the server side (Python on a PC), it supports the read, readline, and read_until methods found in the pyserial library.
- Install Git
- Install Python
- Install Arduino IDE
- Follow these instructions to set up the ESP32 in the Arduino IDE
- Clone this repo and run
wifi_serial.pyon your server PC. #include "WiFiSerial.h"in your main Arduino code file.- Copy your server address and port (shown by the Python script) to your main Arduino code file.
- If you want to propose a change or need to modify the code for any reason first clone this repository to your PC and create a new branch for your changes. Once your changes are complete and fully tested ask the administrator permission to push this new branch into the source.
- If you just want to do local changes instead you can download a zip version of the repository and do all changes locally in your PC.
