Product User’s Manual – ESPWiFi Shield Rev2.0
5.0 UART/SERIAL COMMUNICATION
AT firmware of the ESP8266 WiFi module on ESPWiFi shield allows users to communicate
with the module using UART communication.
Default settings are 9600 kbps baudrate, 8 bit data, 1 stop bit and no parity .
5.1 Guideline for setting up TX and RX pin with Arduino Boards

This option enables communication between ESP8266 module and PC using suitable
UART software such as Arduino Serial Monitor, Hyperterminal, RealTerm etc.
**
Only applicable if no SPI communication is used because SPI pinouts uses D10D13
in Arduino Uno. MicroSD card cannot be used as well in this case.
