Beschrijving
There are several solutions if you want to integrate wifi in your Arduino project. An ESP-14 is a complete µcontroller (STM8S003) and a wifi transceiver (ESP8266) in one module. The purpose of this combination is to provide more I/O pins than a regular ESP8266 based board such as ESP-12x, acting as an I/O extender. Unfortunately it needs some rather difficult soldering to make the connections to an Arduino. The ESP modules are 3.3Vdc, so in combination with an Arduino, a level-shifter and an adapted power supply are needed. It looks like an ESP8266xx can be best used stand-alone for IoT applications.

It should be possible to send ATcommands from an Arduino through a serial connection to the ESP-14. M_PD5 (blue=RX) must be connected to Arduino TX(18) and M_PD6 (yellow=TX) must be connected to Arduino RX(19).

According to Benjamin de Jong this module should respond to AT commands. More Gregware info on ESP14. Software example(ESP14-2) for 2560. Another software example and yet another software example(ESP14-1).

Dunno why, but I cannot get it up and running. Seems like I might have destroyed it while trying.
