<p dir="auto"><a href="https://github.com/aceindy/esp-link/commit/d8fcdd9cab574b2cc1f54f2f8527749f49d43cd3" rel="nofollow">PS: Because I mainly use this project for my Duepi Pellet stove, and the fact that the latest app of DPRemote is stuck at port 2000, I took the liberty to change the secondary port from 2323 to 2000 and recompiled from there so it works 'out-of-the-box' fpr my own project.</a>

<p dir="auto">The esp-link firmware connects a micro-controller to the internet using an ESP8266 Wifi module.
It implements a number of features:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>transparent bridge between Wifi and serial, useful for debugging or inputting into a uC</li>
<li>flash-programming attached Arduino/AVR microcontrollers and
LPC800-series and other ARM microcontrollers via Wifi</li>
<li>built-in stk500v1 programmer for AVR uC's: program using HTTP upload of hex file</li>
<li>outbound REST HTTP requests from the attached micro-controller to the internet</li>
<li>MQTT client pub/sub from the attached micro-controller to the internet</li>
<li>serve custom web pages containing data that is dynamically pulled from the attached uC and
that contain buttons and fields that are transmitted to the attached uC (feature not
fully ready yet)</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">The firmware includes a tiny HTTP server based on
<a href="http://www.esp8266.com/viewforum.php?f=34" rel="nofollow">esphttpd</a>
with a simple web interface, many thanks to Jeroen Domburg for making it available!
The REST and MQTT functionality are loosely based on <a href="https://github.com/tuanpmt/espduino">espduino</a>
but significantly rewritten and no longer protocol compatible, thanks to tuanpmt for the
inspiration!</p>
<p dir="auto">The following people contributed significant functionality to esp-link:
<a href="https://github.com/brunnels">brunnels</a> (espduino integration),
<a href="https://github.com/cskarai">cskarai</a> (custom dynamic web pages),
<a href="https://github.com/beegee-tokyo">beegee-tokyo</a> (lots of code documentation),
<a href="https://github.com/susisstrolch">susisstrolch</a> (syslog feature),
<a href="https://github.com/bc547">bc547</a> and <a href="https://github.com/katast">katast</a> (misc contributions).
Esp-link is the work of many contributors!</p>
<p dir="auto">Note that <a href="http://github.com/jeelabs/esp-link">http://github.com/jeelabs/esp-link</a> is the original esp-link software which has
notably been forked by arduino.org as <a href="https://github.com/arduino-org/Esp-Link">Esp-Link</a> and shipped
with the initial Arduino Uno Wifi. The JeeLabs esp-link has evolved significantly since the
fork and added cool new features as well as bug fixes.</p>
