Description: This video demonstrates how to use UDevTerm USB/BT/WiFi Professional to monitor TTL connection of Arduino UNO and ESP8266 Wi-Fi module and simultaneously to exchange messages with ESP8266 over TTL and Wi-Fi connections by running simultaneously a bridge between USB OTG and Bluetooth port and a terminal emulator for Wi-Fi port. With comments.

Experimental setup consists of USB/TTL converter (1), attached to terminal emulator, ESP8266 Wi-Fi module (2), Arduino UNO board (3) and 100 Ohm resistor (4)*.

The steps of the experminent are as follows: 1) Start UDevTerm terminal emulator 2) Start Wi-Fi access point on terminal emulator 3) Attach USB/TTL converter (1) to Android Device OTG USB port, connect USB/TTL converter to terminal emulator 4) Connect Arduino UNO USB port to power 5) Configure USB/TTL converter connection with terminal emulator

6) Wait till ESP8266 module connects to UDevTerm terminal emulator Wi-Fi port, then configure Wi-Fi connection 7) Establish Bluetooth connection between UDevTerm terminal emulator and Teraterm PC terminal emulator (configure Teraterm to transmit CR+LF after each message) 8) Create bridge connection between Android Device OTG USB port and Bluetooth port 9) Exchange messages between Teraterm emulator, sending messages to TTL port of ESP8266 module in form of AT commands over Bluetooth, and UDevTerm terminal emulator, connected with ESP8266 over Wi-Fi. First a message 14 characters long should be entered in Teraterm that ESP8266 module is waiting for over TTL port to send it over Wi-Fi. (Modify Arduino UNO module sketch to enter your access point name, password, etc.)

 

(*) Research showed that in order to be able to send messages from Android terminal through TTL port to ESP8266 module, that is already connected to Arduino UNO board, an additional 100 Ohm resistor (4) is required. Otherwise, ESP8266 module will not response to messages sent to it through TTL port from Android terminal.

UDevTerm USB/Bluetooth/WiFi Professional includes a VT100/VT220 (WIP) terminal with interactive screen replacing keyboard arrow buttons functionality. UDevTerm USB/Bluetooth/WiFi Professional combines functionality of UDevTerm USB Processional, UDevTerm Bluetooth Professional and UDevTerm WiFi Professional. UDevTerm USB/Bluetooth/WiFi Professional allows to simultaneously establish serial connections over OTG USB, Bluetooth and TCP/UDP connection over Wi-Fi with easy realtime terminal switching between these three connections. It can also be used to create direct data bridge between OTG USB COM port, Bluetooth virtual COM port and Wi-Fi TCP/UDP port, allowing for instance to connect third parties devices through Bluetooth virtual COM port or Wi-Fi TCP/UDP port to devices that have USB port or CLI port like routers. Moreover, it allows to simultaneously establish bridge connection over two ports and to run a terminal emulator over a third port.
