Using WIFI module 13020 with the starter robot kit/tank

#1

I have the starter robot kit (bluetooth version)

I have been able to get the starter robot tank to run correctly (controlled by scratch code in mBlock and connected via bluetooth).

I would like to replace the bluetooth module with a WIFI module and and instead connect from mBlock to the starter robot tank via WIFI (as is possible with the WIFI version of mBot).

I have purchased the Me WIFI module (13020). With help of the 13020 user manual I am able to to get the 13020 to run in “hotspot” mode and access the associated startup page (by connecting to the 13020 WIFI network and going to 192.168.4.1).

I have been unable to find any examples/instructions about how to use the 13020 so it can connect to my local WIFI network and provide a connection between mBlock and the starter robot tank.

Could someone please provide more instructions/examples.

Thank you.

I got a ME Wifi module. After connecting it I was able to call the web interface.
But after connecting it to my local network I was not able to communicate with the Wifi module.
Is there way to reset the module?

2.Unplug the RJ25 cable from WiFi module to power off it
3. Plug in the RJ25 cable to WiFi module to power on
