Esp8266 Team Hack Intro

This project is part of a series for an instructables team hack. See the series for more information.

These are documents for building a team hack project using kits designed for quick esp play. These kits include:

• esp8266 dev board with usb
• rgb led with resistors
• 10k ohm ntc thermistor with 10k resistor
• 10k ohm photoresistor with 10k resistor

You will need to provide your own micro usb cable to power and configure the microcontrolled.

The esp8266 is a good choice for this because it is flexible, cheap, andprolific, meaning that there is a lot of documentation. They also havebuilt-in wifi which allows us to communite with other services such as emailand smart home devices.

For easy access, the leds, thermistors, and photoresistors will be pre-solderedto leads with female headers. The esp8266 will be pre-flashed and configuredfor micropython with the webrepl running.

The plan is to create a number of instructables about this project along withseveral variations, then lead the team through some of these variations. Fun!
