I have a 5v/1A portable access point that I am using and I am happy with. It is one of the many electronic devices that need to be there for me to do ...

I am glad I found that the board can broadcast WiFi. But the signal is too weak. One of my astronomy computers is stronger at signal reception than th...

@byron My quest is to build a device for my astroimaging work that involves a lot of hardware and devices attached to a telescope that hopefully can b...

So, I tried the board on my PC, ignoring the board announcing it failed to connect as it boots up, and ignoring that Arduino says no such board on the...

Thank you. I ran the test you mentioned and indeed when the device is connected I see the port you described. I also see it being available in Arduino...

No, that is not the case. The controller comes pre-programmed with a WiFi check sketch and it runs automatically whether communicating with the port o...

@byron Yes, I have seen that link, thanks. The problem is with recognition of the device once connected to the PC. I have installed all the driv...
