B4R Question ESP8266 and ... wired Internet

[peacemaker]

HI, All

There is ESP8266 project that sends HTTP-requests to a server via WiFi connection to a WiFi-router.
Router is to be placed far from ESP8266 sensor boards.
And now - there is a task to make a mobile sensor version where the router part is to be placed together with ESP8266 in a single case.
ESP B4R project code is big and complex, and better to preserve it.

But how to communicate with a server from ESP8266 by HTTP-requests ... by wire, not by WiFi ?

Do you have an ethernet shield for the ESP8266?

One possible solution is to add an Arduino with ethernet shield, connected with rWire or serial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/connecting-two-arduinos-with-rwire-library.65732/#content

Thanks Erel, for reply. But how does it look in B4R code that HTTP-requests, prepared for HTTPJob module are sent to an Ethernet shield ?
Do we have B4R lib for ENC28J60 shield ?

There is an ethernet library for Arduino standard Ethernet shield. It should be simple to modify rHttpUtils to work with it.

Ha !
Theoretically solved: to stream WiFi signal directly from one antenna output to a router's WiFi-antenna socket by .... cable, via some attenuator
Will try...

Use a coil around antenna, only a few rings.

If to use the WiFi antenna on the EPS, but the cut cable of the WiFi router antenna - they work OK together in one point. And a client at 5 meters apart is not visible.
