Operating Environment 

1.6

 

Operating requirements 

a.

 

Stable voltage for the power supply module 

b.

 

The upper limit voltage for GPIO is 3.6V. In case that the voltage goes beyond 
3.6V,  you  need  the  buck  circuit  to  drive  ESP8266  WiFi  module.  Or  there 
would be damages for the GPIO interface.   

c.

 

If  you choose to use  LDO to transform the voltage, make surethat the input 
and  output  voltages  are  large  enough.  The  decoupling  capacitor  should  be 
place beside the module and the equivalent resistance should be low enough. 
When using DC-DC to power up the module, please, if necessary, add the LC 
filter circuit.   

d.

 

Since  the  RF  of  ESP8266  WiFi  module  and  the  digital  circuit  are  of  high 
integrity,  and  high-level  current  is  needed  for  FR  self-calibration  when  the 
power  is  on,  please  ensure  that  the  current  could  reach  5000  Ma  to  avoid 
instantaneous voltage drop. 

e.

 

We don’t recommend you to use un-calibrated battery to power up the module, 
since the FR circuit would be affected by temperature and voltage fluctuation.

How to use ESP8266 WiFi Module 

2.1

 

Define the Interface between ESP8266 WiFi Module and 3D 

Printer’s Control Board 

 

Connect the Server 

Instruction 
format 

 
Connect to srd;devicename;serverIP; 

 
Description 

Inform the WiFi module of the user name and password, the router’s name and the 
IP address of the server.   
Need to reset the WiFi module before sending this instruction.
