This document provides an introduction to programming the ESP8266 WiFi chip. It outlines ESP8266 basics, including an overview of the ESP-01 and ESP-12 models. It then demonstrates how to connect an ESP8266 to an Arduino and use the Blynk app and library to control an LED over WiFi. Wiring diagrams and code examples are provided to showcase setting up and programming the ESP8266 for basic WiFi functionality and Blynk integration.

Blynkis a Platform with iOS and Android apps
to control Arduino, Raspberry Pi and the likes
over the Internet.
It's a digital dashboard where you can build a
graphic interface for your project by simply
dragging and dropping widgets.
Blynk is not tied to some specific board or
shield. Instead, it's supporting hardware of
your choice. Whether your Arduino or
Raspberry Pi is linked to the Internet over Wi-
Fi, Ethernet or this new ESP8266 chip, Blynk
will get you online and ready for the Internet
Of Your Things.
