1. Preambles
      ESP-12F WiFi module is developed by AI-Thinker Co.,Ltd, core processor ESP8266 in smaller sizes of the module
encapsulates Tensilica L106 integrates industry-leading ultra low power 32-bit MCU micro, with the 16-bit short mode,
clock speed support 80 MHz, 160 MHz, supports the RTOS, integrated Wi-Fi MAC/BB/RF/PA/LNA, on-board antennas.
      The module supports standard IEEE802.11 b/g/n agreement, complete TCP/IP protocol stack. Users can use the
add modules to an existing device networking, or building a separate network controller.
      ESP8266 is high integration wireless SOCs, designed for space and power constrained mobile platform designers.
It provides unsurpassed ability to embed Wi-Fi capabilities within other systems, or to function as a standalone
application, with the lowest cost, and minimal space requirement.



     ESP8266EX offers a complete and self-contained Wi-Fi networking solution; it can be used to host the application
or to offload Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor.
     When ESP8266EX hosts the application, it boots up directly from an external flash. In has integrated cache to
improve the performance of the system in such applications.
     Alternately, serving as a Wi-Fi adapter, wireless internet access can be added to any micro controllerbased design
with simple connectivity (SPI/SDIO or I2C/UART interface).
     ESP8266EX is among the most integrated WiFi chip in the industry; it integrates the antenna switches, RF balun,
power amplifier, low noise receive amplifier, filters, power management modules, it requires minimal external circuitry,
and the entire solution, including front-end module, is designed to occupy minimal PCB area.
     ESP8266EX also integrates an enhanced version of Tensilica’s L106 Diamond series 32-bit processor, with on-chip
SRAM, besides the Wi-Fi functionalities. ESP8266EX is often integrated with external sensors and other application
specific devices through its GPIOs; codes for such applications are provided in examples in the SDK.

   3.2.   OEM installation mathod
      Using ESP-12F module Please reference in front of the package information in the Layout on the main board for
OEM factory .Please pay more attention Module's direction and the antenna close to the edge of board is better ,the
Components and layout should not be on the bottom of antenna then soldering the module.when the module be
soldering can not in the environment of high temperature ,We recommend the reflow soldering temperature curves is
shown in figure 6:

                          Figure 6    Recommend reflow soldering temperature curves

ESP-12F User Manual




AT commands set is divided into: Basic AT commands, WiFi related AT commands, TCP / IP AT


   4.3.1.AT Command Description

                     Table 8 Each Command set contains four types of AT commands.




    Notes:
    1. Not all AT Command has four commands.
    2. [] = default value, not required or may not appear
    3. String values require double quotation marks, for example:
    AT+CWSAP="ESP756290","21030826",1,4
    4. Baudrate = 115200
    5. AT Commands has to be capitalized, and end with "/r/n"




   4.3.2.Basic AT Command Set
The ESP8266 wireless WiFi modules can be driven via the serial interface using the standard AT
commands. Here is a list of some basic AT commands that can be used.

AT – Test AT startup
The type of this command is "executed". It's used to test the setup function of your wireless WiFi
module.




AT+RST – Restart module

ESP-12F User Manual




The type of this command is "executed". It’s used to restart the module.




AT+GMR – View version info
This AT command is used to check the version of AT commands and SDK that you are using, the type
of which is "executed".




AT+GSLP – Enter deep-sleep mode
This command is used to invoke the deep-sleep mode of the module, the type of which is "set". A
minor adjustment has to be made before the module enter this deep sleep mode, i.e., connect
XPD_DCDC with EXT_RSTB via 0R.

ATE – AT commands echo
This command ATE is an AT trigger command echo. It means that entered commands can be echoed
back 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 reset
This command is used to reset all parameters saved in flash (according to appendix), restore the
factory 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。
