I am newbie here and am working on kind of WiFi-controlled Vehicle (Car or maybe Hovercraft later). My ESP8266 repeats the commands I use. For example, AT gives AT, AT+GWR gives AT+GWR, dabdabik gives dabdabik, etc.

I use Arduino Uno to send commands as I don't have FTDI related stuff (USB to Serial Converter). I use AA cells for power supply (1.5v*2=3v). I don't even have 3.3 volt direct supply. I use Arduino IDE Serial Monitor. I connected Arduino TX to ESP8266 RX via voltage divider (1.66 Kohm(TX) and 1.66 Kohm (GND)->3.29 Ohm(RX)).

My Connections are:

ESP8266----------------Arduino Uno
TX---Voltage divider---RX(d0)
RX---------------------TX(d1)
GND--------------------GND
VCC-------**3V**
CH_PD-----**3V**

Sometimes it gives garbage otherwise repeats(weird). Garbage ONLY changes if baud rate is changed.

I flashed it (it seemed) with AT 9.5.2 firmware. Flashing works rarely ONLY with TX to TX connected directly without voltage divider.

Tried as much as I could after searching the web and esp8266 forum but still couldn't solve problem.

Please help. I am student in a small town (Manipal) in Southern India so no good stores nearby and I don't want to buy FTDI or anything on-line. I am a bit new to electronics, but I am a C++ programmer and student.

UPDATE: Now noticed after some resets it gives full garbage to longer commands most of the time whereas two letter commands are partial garbage. For example AT gives IT,TT,OT,etc.

There is no coding. I sent the commands directly via arduino hardware serial pins(rx,tx) and bare minimum program.

Sometimes it gives garbage otherwise it just repeats  (weird). Garbage ONLY changes if baud rate is changed.
