In this project you’re going to make two ESP8266 talk with each other.
How it works? You’re going to set one ESP as an Access Point (Server) and another ESP as a Station (Client). Then they’ll establish a wireless communication and the Client sends a message to the Server saying “Hello World!”.
Before continue reading this project, please complete the following tutorials:

Parts List
Here’s the hardware that you need to complete this project:
Schematics (3.3V FTDI Programmer)
The schematics for this project are very straight forward. You only need to establish a serial communication between your FTDI programmer and your ESP8266 to upload some code. (Repeat the schematics below for the Client and Server)
Downloading ESPlorer
I recommend using the ESPlorer program created by 4refr0nt to create and save Lua files into your ESP8266.
Follow these instructions to download and install ESPlorer:
- Click here to download ESPlorer
- Unzip that folder
- Go to the main folder
- Run ESPlorer.jar. It’s a JAVA program, so you need JAVA installed on your computer
- Open the ESPlorer
