    Did you set the baud rate of the esp to 9600? Setting it in code is not enough. Commented Dec 22, 2017 at 18:10
  • @Jamie when I read other people doing that they say they bricked the esp8266, I changed it to 115200 in code, I believe that is the default?not that It really made any difference, if I try to send command in the serial monitor nothing happens. Commented Dec 22, 2017 at 18:55
  • SoftwareSerial can't handle that speed. 9600 is the maximum. I'll write an answer because I've to paste some code you can use. Commented Dec 22, 2017 at 19:07
