Make phone calls with voice from your ESP8266 and Twilio’s API.

Use an Android app to control the digital pins of your Arduino microcontroller through the ESP8266 WiFi module. The Android app will have three buttons that you can use to toggle three LEDs connected to your Arduino board. The Androi application sends an HTTP request to the ESP8266 and the Arduino processes the request.

Use the ESP8266 to control your Arduino’s pins via WiFi. In this tutorial we will create a webpage with three buttons to control LEDs connected to the Arduino from the internet.

The ESP8266 can easily be used as a webserver but you’ll need a microcontroller to handle the http events/requests. In this tutorial we’ll use the arduino to help the esp serve websites.

So you got the world wide famous ESP8266 wifi module to play around with it and your Arduino but don’t know where/how to get started? For starters, the ESP8266 requires a 3.3V input which we can get by connecting a 3.3V regulator to the Arduino’s Vin pin. The code is just as simple, a loop to receive and send commands, and another loop to print the response.
