Hardware serial port monitor over WiFi
This tutorial shows how to connect Arduino to the TX line (of a router, RPI) and display serial data on smartphone over WiFi. Arduino listens for serial port communication on its hardware serial port. Then it sends every received line of data trough software serial port to ESP8266....
