With this tiny dongle there are still a lot of possible projects possible and things to learn:
- Sending and receiving data via WiFi. Running a Web Server, posting data to other servers. Using TCP or UDP protocols
- Usage of buttons and interrupts in micro controllers
- Controlling an WS2812B LED. This one is RGB so you can display lots of different colors
- Measuring Temperature - the included temperature probe is quite precise so you can measure and post temperatures online
- Managing Heat - the device consumes ~100 ma when turned on, which produced enough heat to influence the temperature measurement. So using deep-sleep functionality this can be controlled
- Various mashups of those functionalities are possible
- There are 4 extension ports, 3.3v, 5v and GND outputs - to connect external sensors, actuators and display (more on this in a later update)
