ESP8266 WiFi Shield Hookup Guide
Interface your Arduino with an ESP8266 to give it inexpensive access to your WiFi network and the Internet!
LED Cloud-Connected Cloud
Make an RGB colored cloud light! You can also control it from your phone, or hook up to the weather!
ESP32 Relay Web Server
The goal of this project is to have a website hosted on an ESP32 that controls any relay controlled device connected to a local network and keeps a dynamically updated state of those devices.
Monitor Sensor Data from Anywhere
Using WiFi to send sensor data from an ESP32 to a WiFi network and be able to read it from an IoT Dashboard from anywhere in the world.
