Not all AT Command has four commands.2. [] = default value, not required or may not appear3. String values require double quotation marks, for example:AT+CWSAP="ESP756290","21030826",1,44. Baudrate = 1152005. AT Commands has to be capitalized, and end with "/r/n"4.3.2.Basic AT Command SetThe ESP8266 wireless WiFi modules can be driven via the serial interface using the standard ATcommands. Here is a list of some basic AT commands that can be used.Table9 basic AT commands
ESP-12F User ManualShenzhen Ai-Thinker Technology Co., Ltd http://www.ai-thinker.com13AT – Test AT startupThe type of this command is "executed". It's used to test the setup function of your wireless WiFimodule.AT+RST – Restart module
ESP-12F User ManualShenzhen Ai-Thinker Technology Co., Ltd http://www.ai-thinker.com14The type of this command is "executed". It’s used to restart the module.AT+GMR – View version infoThis AT command is used to check the version of AT commands and SDK that you are using, the typeof which is "executed".AT+GSLP – Enter deep-sleep modeThis command is used to invoke the deep-sleep mode of the module, the type of which is "set". Aminor adjustment has to be made before the module enter this deep sleep mode, i.e., connectXPD_DCDC with EXT_RSTB via 0R.
ESP-12F User ManualShenzhen Ai-Thinker Technology Co., Ltd http://www.ai-thinker.com15ATE – AT commands echoThis command ATE is an AT trigger command echo. It means that entered commands can be echoedback to the sender when ATE command is used. Two parameters are possible. The command returns"OK" in normal cases and "ERROR" when a parameter other than 0 or 1 was specified.AT+RESTORE – Factory resetThis command is used to reset all parameters saved in flash (according to appendix), restore thefactory default settings of the module. The chip will be restarted when this command is executed.Detailed instruction test, please refer to the Esp8266 AT Instruction Set, you can download it from our website。
