    At a glance, your picture shows that you've connected RX to RX and TX to TX. They need to be swapped, so that each module receives what the other transmits. Commented Nov 8, 2015 at 6:55
  • To expand on that, I'm not sure if the logic lines of the ESP can handle 5V of the arduino. (5V exceeds the 3.3V, that could cause some problems) Commented Nov 8, 2015 at 16:48
  • @FuaZe are you suggesting separate 3.3v power ? Commented Nov 8, 2015 at 17:41
  • @Rennex Thanks for that. I will test it out tonight. Commented Nov 8, 2015 at 19:30
  • @Yonkee I'm suggesting a TTL logic converter or a resistor-divider on the logic lines. As the logic (Rx/Tx) may not be 5V tolerant. Commented Nov 9, 2015 at 14:36
