AT Command Usage

ESP8266 WiFi Module (WRL-17146) Commands are case sensitive and should end with /r/n

Commands may use 1 or more of these types

Set = AT+<x>=<...> - Sets the value
Inquiry = AT+<x>? - See what the value is set at
Test = AT+<x>=? - See the possible options
Execute = AT+<x> - Execute a command
Name Power Commands with * have been depreciated in favor of
COMMAND_CUR and COMMAND_DEF. CUR will not write the
value to flash, DEF will write the value to flash and be used as the
Ground Control default in the future.
