Section 4
Getting Started with the SparkFun ESP8266 Thing
In this video, we will learn how to get an external LED to blink using the Thing. We will also learn how to connect a sensor and log sensor data and how to activate an actuator based on sensor data. - Learn how to get an external LED to blink using the Thing - Learn how to connect a sensor to the Thing and log sensor data - Learn how to use sensor data to turn an LED on through the Thing
