			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Nope, you don&#039;t need level shifters, the <strong>GPIO</strong>s on the ESP8266 are 5V-tolerant as long as you&#039;re not trying to use the pins also connected to the flash chip on a NodeMCU.&nbsp; 5V will blow the flash chip, but the ESP8266 rides it out, so sayeth the CEO of Espressif.&nbsp; See the pic below for the DANGER WILL ROBINSON pins.</p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Y6LfZmG.jpg" alt="https://i.imgur.com/Y6LfZmG.jpg" /></span></p><p>Most likely your RF transmit power is too high.&nbsp; The Arduino IDE core for the &#039;8266 by default sets RF output power to 20dBm.&nbsp; Drop that to around 2 or 3dBm if you&#039;re in the same room with your router, or it might overdrive your router.<br />WiFI.setOutputPower(2);&nbsp; // sets the RF power to 2dBm.<br />That&#039;s solved a few of my connection issues.&nbsp; Your RF setting may be higher or lower than the 2dBm I use, so play around with it.</p><p>Also, if you have multiple interrupt-driven routines, that can disconnect the WiFi.&nbsp; It&#039;s kinda sensitive if your code goes away for long periods and doesn&#039;t give the core a break every 20-50ms.&nbsp; Try adding yield(); or delay(0); spread throughout your code so that the WiFi stays refreshed.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p><p>I intend to built a project using Arduino UNO with an ESP8266 module, to turn on/off loads remotely.</p><p>My Uno board is functioning well.</p><p>The ESP module is having latest firmware installed on it.</p><p>I&#039;m using RemoteXY.com editor, and its equivalent (newest) app on Android.</p><p>I have copied the source code and compiled it to Arduino with NO errors.</p><p>Also the baud rate is identical between source code and ESP.</p><p>The problem is, that I am not able accurately to connect to the app and control loads.</p><p>Between 20 attempts I can only connect once, and the connection is often reset and broken.</p><p>What could be the error?</p><p>P.S I have used the ESP connection from RemoteXY tutorial, but DIDN&#039;T use the resistive voltage divider between RX pin on ESP and TX pin on Uno.</p><p>Thanks in advance</p>]]></content>
