Implementing AT commands with Arduino and ESP8266 Being a newbie to Arduino, I'm trying to implement AT commands in the serial monitor, though in vain. After connecting the ESP8266 (01) module to an Arduino Uno, I tried to scan for the nearest network present [code link: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/doc/esp8266wifi/scan-examples.md#simple-scan] and it worked perfectly.

But the moment I am trying to connect to send AT commands (even manually), it shows nothing. In addition, if(Serial.available()) and if(esp8266.available())&lt; both are giving false value.

What am I doing wrong?
You don't give a circuit diagram or very much detail about what you've done, but if I guess correctly...

You have flashed the code in your link to the ESP-01 (perhaps using the Arduino as a serial port adapter). That code is now running on the ESP itself - it's not running on the Arduino and controlling the ESP.

Flashing the ESP erases the stock firmware, so the ESP can no longer respond to AT commands.

I don't know of a way to reprogram the 'AT' firmware into the ESP but perhaps Google will help.

If I've guessed incorrectly, please explain exactly what you have done - with circuit diagram, setup steps and code.
