Some cool things to try with your Wi-Fi kit:
🚨 Wi-Fi Controlled LED
Host a web page on the ESP8266 to turn an LED on or off from your phone or laptop — a fun intro to web-controlled electronics.
🔘 Smart Button That Triggers Events
Use a push button to send data over Wi-Fi. For example, count how many times something happens or trigger an automation in your smart home.
💡 Dual Control Smart Light
Control an LED using both a physical button and a web interface — just like a real smart bulb that works from the wall and your phone.
🎮 Web-Based Button Pad
Build a virtual gamepad in your browser that lights up LEDs on your breadboard when you press virtual buttons — shows how devices can talk over your network.
📶 Wi-Fi Signal Strength Visualizer
Turn your ESP8266 into a signal strength detector. Use a series of LEDs to show how strong the connection is, helping you find Wi-Fi dead zones.
📡 ESP-to-ESP LED Messenger (requires two kits)
Use one ESP8266 to send a wireless message to another, turning on an LED remotely — a basic but awesome way to understand device-to-device communication.
⏱ Reaction Timer Game
LED turns on at a random time — press the button as fast as you can! Great for learning timing and building fun circuits.
🔁 LED Blinking Patterns from Web Page
Control different LED blinking sequences directly from a webpage — choose your pattern (pulse, blink, strobe) with the click of a button.
📲 Button-Controlled Web Server Logs
Make a simple logger that updates a counter on a webpage every time you press a button — useful for learning real-time communication.
🎯 Two-Player Tap Race Game (requires two buttons)
Race to see who presses their button first after an LED lights up — great for competitions and reaction-based games.
(Also, talk to services like ChatGPT, host a basic website, make an garage door opener that talks to apple homekit (with an extra relay lying around), and so much more)
