Hello all,
Thanks for this forum. I was hoping some of you will have some experience with this board.
I am a little confused about the ESP8266 chip on this board.
I am uploading Arduino sketch via CH340 to ATMega.
If I include Wifi library in my sketch will it use the ESP8266 chip?
FYI I have config switches 3,4,7 ON

Have you tried the test sketch on the Robotdyn product page?

This gives you an example of talking to the AT firmware that is preinstalled on the ESP8266 chip.

From this Instructable https://www.instructables.com/UNO-R3-WI ... FI-a-Vers/
it would seem that the ESP8266 needs to be programmed separately.
The ATMega328 and ESP8266 can communicate via the serial bus between both chips.
