Hi,

i wanted to display some RouterOS values on a LCD hooked up to an ESP8266 which is connected to a Mikrotik Wifi network.

Background Story:
We have a small train that should get Wifi over LTE along the track for our customers and to send the GPS Position of the train to a server. For this i want to get a Mikrotik router since i am familiar with these. To check the LTE, GPS and Internet Status I want to place an ESP8266 with a LCD/OLED Display at the driver's cab so that he knows whats going on.

With a Raspberry Pi this is possible but it needs to be booted up and shut down properly and i want to keep it stupid and simple so i decided to use an ESP8266

I checked out the Mikrotik API documentation and was overwhelmed and i understood nothing. I also tried to read values via Telnet but this is so messy with the libraries i found.

Can someone please help me find a solution for that problem?

Hi, that Router would have been my choice anyways (just without US).
I found a way now. The ESP8266 runs a http web server for post requests. Now i can send a post request from the mikrotik with scripts to the ESP. The ESP then displays the Value on the tiny OLED screen.

If someone wants the code i can modify it a bit and maybe upload it to Github.

Hi, i don't have a github Account yet but i'll try to get the code optimized and published there in the next few days. I'll let you know when i'm done.

Hi, i just reworked the code, added some small Features, cleaned it up, documented the code and wrote a description for it today.
I am finally done after working on it for several hours today, couldn't do it earlier because i was away from home for a few days.
You can find my project here:

https://github.com/neogoth/mikrotik-esp-monitor

I hope it is well enough documented so that you can modify it to your needs.
If there are any questions feel free to contact me.
