Ping IP address using ESP8266 connected to Arduino I want to make a system using NeoPixels, an Arduino and an ESP8266 module to ping IP addresses on my network to determine if certain people are on our Wi-Fi (I'll be pinging mobile phones).

I'm finding it hard to find any help as to how to ping IP addresses from an Arduino using the ESP8266 module. I did find the ICMP Ping library, but it uses the Ethernet shield, and I'm quite new to Arduino so I don't even know if I could modify the library in any way.

If anyone could help me on my way, that'd be great!
From what I could find, it seems theres a command for pinging a server. It returns the number of milliseconds taken for the server to respond. The command is: AT+PING="web site" or AT+PING=&lt;ip addr&gt;, from 2 separate sources. You'll have to test them to see which (if not both) is correct.
