I don't understand. How to program on elclient? I write firmware, web interface is work. If I write 'blink' sketch from Arduino IDE, then nothin works. I have search over 300 sites. And nothing

I'm just starting with the el-client software, but from what I understand:

1- You need to leave esp8266 running with esp-link, https://github.com/jeelabs/esp-link

2- You need to enable the SLIP function (on the tab below the services called "REST & MQTT"): "[x] Enable SLIP on serial port". Available on the esp-link settings page.

3- The speed (Baud) of the port of the "uC console" must be with the same speed of the program el-client.

4- So you can to program the Arduino with the el-client example code. https://github.com/jeelabs/el-client/tree/master/ELClient/examples

5- The communication functions are similar to the Arduino programs for esp8266, the difference is that an intermediate is being used between the Arduino and esp8266, which is the esp-link firmware.

ELClient: is a Wifi library for arduino that uses the SLIP protocol to communicate via serial with an ESP8266 module running the esp-link firmware.

6- I believe it would be advisable to first learn to use esp8266 directly with the Arduino.

If the Atmega328 (like an Arduino Pro Mini) has the UNO bootloader, the IDE can work with the "Arduino WiFi" option, to program the Atmega328 using the esp-link as a bridge. You need to configure the mDNS service with the name "arduino", details in: https://github.com/jeelabs/esp-link/issues/394

@rtek1000 that is a great summary. Thank you.
