Published on Wed, Dec 17th 2014 Science & Technology Rectangular HD

In this video I'll show you how to get started with the ESP8266; wiring it up, flashing FW, and establishing a TCP connection to a data server
so you can post/retrieve data to/from your microcontroller.

Don't forget about part 2 and 3!
