ESP-Now with WiFiEsp library on ESP8266-01 interfaced to Arduino Uno

[kabhaya1]

I am faculty member in computer science at Trident Academy of Technology
I am intending to use Espressif's ESP-Now for connection-less networking or Arduino based Wirless Sensors Nodes (integrating ESP8266-01) with the help of WiFiEsp library on ESP8266-01 interfaced to Arduino Uno, but I do not know how to do it, neither I am getting any example from anywhere. I am getting a Library WiFiEspNow; is it for this? Is this library meant for this purpose or is there any other solution approach to this? Kindly extend your help;
I shall be extremely thankful if you can kindly share me an example of the above. I hope some other readers among us might also be having similar intension and your solution and response will definitely benefit all.

You can't. These things don't go together.
WiFiEsp library on host MCU requires AT firmware in esp8266 and standard WiFi networking.
esp-now allows only radion communication between esp8266 modules and can't be used in one esp8266 together with WiFi.

Dear Andrássy, Many thanks for your reply at such short notice; Thanks to Bportaluri/Wifiesp forum; But, one request; I hope, you are fully aware what my problem is. At this juncture of time, can you kindly suggest me a solution? I have already tried with ESP8266-12e (NodeMCU), the same I want now to implement with Arduino Uno-R3 using ESP8266-01s. I shall be eagerly waiting for your reply. With best regards, Abhaya Kumar
