Has anyone managed to get this working?
My telemetry link works with a Bluetooth HC-06,
but if I plug in the DT-06 instead it does not work.
Can anyone tell how to set up the DT-06 ?
DT-06 is just a particular packaging of an esp8266 compatible chip.
The default firmware on it is probably providing transparent serial, so I imagine it’s a baudrate mismatch causing you problems.
That said, if you’re willing to flash an alternative firmware on the module I suggest you follow the instructions here: http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-esp8266-telemetry.html
I suspect you’ll have a better experience with the device that way.
Thank you for the advice.
Are you sure the DT-06 can be flashed with the ArduPilot firmware?
Only by inference. The reference hardware in the wiki (nodeMCU) is firmware compatible with ESP8285, which is the chip in the DT-06.
I tried flashing the DT-06.
ESP8266Flasher said flash ok,
but the DT-06 does not work anymore.
I tried all 3 firmware versions.
What do you mean by “not work”?
it’s dead, no led, no wifi.
https://github.com/SmartArduino/SZDOITWiKi/wiki/ESP8266---TTLtoWiFi is the original DT-06 firmware, for you to flash back to it.
It’s a 1MB module, so the 1MB firmware should “just work”. I’m not sure why it doesn’t. Sorry!
thank you for the link but I cannot find the firmware there.
I have found the firmware.
ESP8255 Download Tool V3.6.6: flash error
ESP8266 Download Tool V3.6.6: flash error
ESPFLASHER: flash success but DT-06 still dead
Maybe I have a strange china clone.
I’ve ordered one to test (from China)
I’m curious…
I have switched to ESP-01 which works great.
But the DT-06 is more compact and nicer to handle.
Hi,
Could you share the DT-06 original firmware? I need to flash it back to its original function.
Thank you
Hi,
I don’t have the original firmware, I’m sorry.
