96 # Mainboard Requires
97
98 - RAM: not less than 2KBytes
99 - Serial: one serial (HardwareSerial or SoftwareSerial) at least
100
101 # Suppported Mainboards
102
103 - Arduino UNO and its derivatives
104 - Arduino MEGA and its derivatives
105 - [Iteaduino UNO](http://imall.iteadstudio.com/im130312001.html)
106 - [WBoard Pro](http://imall.iteadstudio.com/im141125005.html)

108 # Using SoftwareSerial
109
110 If you want to use SoftwareSerial to communicate with ESP8266, you need to modify
111 the line in file `ESP8266.h`:
112
113 //#define ESP8266_USE_SOFTWARE_SERIAL
114
115 After modification, it should be:
116
117 #define ESP8266_USE_SOFTWARE_SERIAL
118
119
120 # Hardware Connection
121
122 WeeESP8266 library only needs an uart for hardware connection. All communications
123 are done via uart. In each example, you must specify the uart used by mainboard
124 to communicate with ESP8266 flashed AT firmware.
125
126 ## MEGA and WBoard Pro
127
128 For MEGA and WBoard Pro, `Serial1` will be used if you create an object (named wifi)
129 of class ESP8266 in your code like this:
130
131 #include "ESP8266.h"
132 ESP8266 wifi(Serial1);
133
134 The connection should be like these:
135
136 ESP8266_TX->RX1(D19)
137 ESP8266_RX->TX1(D18)
138 ESP8266_CH_PD->3.3V
139 ESP8266_VCC->3.3V
140 ESP8266_GND->GND
141
142 ## UNO
143
144 To use SoftwareSerial, `mySerial` will be used if you create an object (named wifi)
145 of class ESP8266 in your code like this:
146
147 #include "ESP8266.h"
148 #include <SoftwareSerial.h>
149
150 SoftwareSerial mySerial(3, 2); /* RX:D3, TX:D2 */
151 ESP8266 wifi(mySerial);
152
153 The connection should be like these:
154
155 ESP8266_TX->RX(D3)
156 ESP8266_RX->TX(D2)
157 ESP8266_CH_PD->3.3V
158 ESP8266_VCC->3.3V
159 ESP8266_GND->GND
160
161 # Attention
162
163 The size of data from ESP8266 is too big for arduino sometimes, so the library can't
164 receive the whole buffer because the size of the hardware serial buffer which is
165 defined in HardwareSerial.h is too small.
166
167 Open the file from `\arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\cores\arduino\HardwareSerial.h`.
168 See the follow line in the HardwareSerial.h file.
169
170 #define SERIAL_BUFFER_SIZE 64
171
172 The default size of the buffer is 64. Change it into a bigger number, like 256 or more.
