ESP8266 ESP-07 Cannot initialize ESP module error on Serial monitor

Customer:

I have an ESP8266 module, specifically an ESP-07 type, and I’m not sure how to connect it to my server. I’m trying to download data from my MySQL database through this module. I would appreciate a schematic and code example for doing this.

Imam problem, najme kupio sam od Vas wifi modul esp8266mod tipa esp07 i neznam kako da se spojim sa mojim serverom phpmyadmin odnosno bio bih Vam zahvalan kada biste mi poslali shemu i kod kako da preko modula skinem podatke sa servera

Hvala unaprijed

Here is the pinout for the ESP: http://www.esp8266.com/wiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?cache=&w=700&h=666&tok=8349ac&media=07-06.jpg

The ESP requires special connection and you need to pay attention to certain pins for it to work properly. This is a good tutorial showing the connection: http://www.esp8266.com/wiki/doku.php?id=getting-started-with-the-esp8266

You can program it from Arduino. You need to add a custom board that is the same as for Croduino NOVA: https://e-radionica.com/hr/blog/2016/01/31/kako-programirati-croduino-nova-iz-arduino-softwarea/

Now for the software. I didn’t understand exactly what you want to do. phpMyAdmin is just an interface for managing MySQL databases, but I assume you want to send information to an SQL database. For example: ESP8266: DHT22 to MYSQL and HighCharts : 7 Steps - Instructables

Because the ESP8266 is a good chip but complicated to work with and connect, we made a board with it that is really simple to use: Soldered: Open-Source Electronics, Boards, Sensors & Modules – Soldered Electronics

mogu ovako pomoći. Ovo pinout ESP-a, što znači da možete vidjeti sve pinove označene: http://www.esp8266.com/wiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?cache=&w=700&h=666&tok=8349ac&media=07-06.jpg
Nadalje, ESP morate posebno povezati, morate paziti na određene pinove kako bi dobro radio. Ovo je dobar tutorijal gdje se vidi konekcija: http://www.esp8266.com/wiki/doku.php?id=getting-started-with-the-esp8266
Možete ga programirati iz Arduina, trebate dodati “custom board” koji je isti kao i za Croduino NOVA: https://e-radionica.com/hr/blog/2016/01/31/kako-programirati-croduino-nova-iz-arduino-softwarea/
Sada je došao na red software. Nisam shvatio što točno želite napraviti. Phpmyadmin je samo sučelje za baratanje MySQL bazama, ali pretpostavljam da želite slati informaciju na SQL bazu. Npr.: ESP8266: DHT22 to MYSQL and HighCharts : 7 Steps - Instructables
Baš zbog toga što je ESP8266 dobar chip, ali kompliciran za baratanje i povezivanje, napravili smo pločicu s njime s kojom je stvarno jednsotavno raditi: Soldered: Open-Source Electronics, Boards, Sensors & Modules – Soldered Electronics

Soldered Support:

You didn’t tell us whether you are using the module with another Arduino board or programming it directly.

If you are programming it directly, your Arduino settings are not correct. Follow the link I sent you for configuring the Arduino IDE software: https://e-radionica.com/hr/blog/2016/01/31/kako-programirati-croduino-nova-iz-arduino-softwarea/

The only difference is that you should not set the Reset method to nodemcu, but leave it at the default setting.

Niste nam napisali jel koristite pločicu s drugom Arduino pločicom ili je direktno programirate?
Ako ju direktno programirate, postavke u Arduinu Vam nisu dobre. Pratite link koji sam Vam poslao ispod za podešavanje Arduino IDE softwarea: https://e-radionica.com/hr/blog/2016/01/31/kako-programirati-croduino-nova-iz-arduino-softwarea/
Jedino nećete kao Reset method postaviti nodemcu, nego ostavite kako je po defaultu.
