Hi Dear Friends!
Today we will learn everything about 'Being Online'.
First of all we can connect to Internet with Arduino.
There are many ways of connect to Internet. We will discuss them.
Especially we will learn using of ESP8266.
We can control the Arduino with an application or just a ''ip address''.
Okey, Let's Start!
Many Ways of Getting Online
You can see in the photos of getting online with Arduino.
For example;
- Uno - Mega Wi-Fi Shield
- Arduino Uno Wi-Fi
- GPRS Module
- Most common module is ESP8266.
Now we are going to update our ESP-8266.
How Does It Work? Some Problems!
You can get easily ESP-8266. It is very cheap and useful.
But if you buy only Esp-8266 board, you will have a problem.

Sometimes it does not work.
You can connect a 10uf between (+) and (-).
Or you can use an adapter Buy Adapter.
You should buy the adapter.
