Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

there are several posts on the web that indicate that the AT+GMR will return what you see, mine does also, but it is the current version 922. You can tell this by the fact that you are working at 9600 baud and you can change the baud rate. Before it was only 115000. You can crank it up to 230400 with the uMite. Have fun!!!!

@viscomjim

A quick note - OBC's updated little Terminal Program has a typo - an extra " that shouldn't be there in the line:
if a$ <> """ then print #1,a$;

You are correct sir!!!! MMedit (colors) caught it before I sent it to the uMite.

  viscomjim said   If you guys decide to update your esp8266 modules to the most current firmware, make sure you get OBC's updated terminal program. All firmware updating info is discussed in this thread and also HERE . Same page has OBC's code for the terminal. If you have any question about the updating process, don't hesitate ask, it took me a few go arounds but now I have it down pat. You can save some time by just going right to 922 version.


Hi Viscomjim

Could you please outline the process to upgrade the modules. Mine finally arrived.
I can connect to them with Teraterm but XTCOM cannot find the module
(com port and speed are set correctly)

Regards
Jman

G'day Guy's,
Well reading this thread has given me interest again so I went and looked on fleabay and got one for $4.59. It is on the slow boat from China so hopefully before the month is out it will be here. Then time to play....

HERE is the wiring diagram I used for updating.
.
The only difference from the regular wiring that you have in the instructable is that you have to bring gpio 0 low while programming. After programming, unhook gpio 0 and then I just power cycled the unit. I wired the unit directly to the usb to ttl serial board as described on that page - just don't do any of the steps listed on that page other than the wiring.

Then this...

Firmware uploading tool
File:XTCOM UTIL.zip
How to use
Download the bin file
Set the module to update mode (by tying gpio0 low),
connect the module : choose "tools" - "configure device"
Upload bin file: API Test - Flash image download, upload the bin file at 0x0000

This picture is the wiring for "normal" use. Courtesy of OBC's instructable.




Going to get some sleep now. Good luck!!!

@viscomjim,

Well, well, I have weather working!

I changed the GET statement to the Sydney one you suggested (got rid of the extra 'space' in Australia, and the SERVER address at the top of the program the way you suggested for over here by pinging api.wunderground.com - it came back different to yours i.e. 23.9.235.83

The Australian server for it maps to: e204.g.akameiedge.net[23.9.235.83]

The first try I forgot to change the baud rate of the module again to match your weather program (115200) so had to reload OBC's new Simple Terminal program again and send the new baud rate command. Reloaded the weather program, ran it and in it came, several pages of it - took about 1 or 2 seconds to start.

I'll see if I can catch a file of the output to post.

Greg

As usual, Jim Hiley's MMEdit to the rescue again - here's the output as from the RUN command.

If you go to www.wunderground.com you can get your very own api key for free which is good for 500 reads a day. Also, if you navigate to their api page, you can see all the different queries you can make and how to do that. The return you get from the GET that is in the program is quite lengthy, you could probably narrow it down quite a bit. For instance, I don't get any of the "neighborhood" stuff which is quite a lot of data you don't need. Also you will notice that their GET is a bit different than mine, just change mine in the query area only, if you use their format, it won't work for you. (Don't know why).Edited by viscomjim 2014-10-17

I have not read this entire discussion so forgive me if this has already come up. Would it be possible to program uMite over the air?

Hi
Thanks for the tips my modules are now working :)

Instead of the code below

SERVER$="23.9.235.83" 'Aust. IP for api.wunderground.com


Why not use this

SERVER$="api.wunderground.com" 'Aust. IP for api.wunderground.com


That way DNS will resolve the correct IP not matter were you live

Jman

In theory, yes, but the code to do it has not been written (yet).

Why not use this

SERVER$="api.wunderground.com" 'Aust. IP for api.wunderground.com

That way DNS will resolve the correct IP not matter were you live

Just made sure of that Jman - it works fine. I didn't want to change viscomjim's quoted code.

That is truly awesome. No more pinging. That's what I get for not knowing anything about this stuff. I am definitely learning though, especially with the help from this forum. Great call Jman!!!Edited by viscomjim 2014-10-17

So here's viscomjim's code again, with Jman's suggestion and tidied more.
Note: check the GET statement line. There should be a space only after GET and Json and Host:. The forum software seems to add extras sometimes.

  cwilt said   I have not read this entire discussion so forgive me if this has already come up. Would it be possible to program uMite over the air?


Provided that the module remembers it's configuration and can automatically connect to the network, it would be very easy to program the uMite.
TeraTerm and MMEdit are both happy to talk via TCPIP.

I now have a module to play with but no time....

Now we need some creative genius to parse this data from the rx buffer. I am trying to get the data into some string arrays, kind of like Geoff's gps reading but I'm not that good at this yet. It would be nice to be able to pick and choose which parameters you want to read and then pick them out of the returned json data...


EDIT...

I just tried the new code and it seems like you get a lot more info back than I do when I use a zip code in the US. I don't get any "neighborhood" type info. I don't use the geolookup in the query, maybe that's why. Take a look at the api info on www.wunderground.com and check out the parameters that you can change. This may narrow down the returned info.Edited by viscomjim 2014-10-17

The module does seem to remember its settings Jim - at least baudrate, local WiFi network SSID, channel, password etc. I turned mine on from a cold start this morning and ran the program and the data came straight in.
