Description: When an ESP8266 (Wemos Lolin D1 Mini Pro V2) is powered ON and has successfully connected to the internet, the built-in LED turns blue and the Web Server is started.
Notes: Make sure that the baud rate is set to 115200 in the Serial Monitor of the Arduino IDE. Once the server has started it will display the IP address, which can then be typed into a browser to access the password protected html website.
Supplies:
1 – Breadboard 400 Points >> Link <<
1 – Wemos Lolin D1 Mini Pro V2 >> Link <<
