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!
