Tinker LabSmall boards, big ideas.
Tinker Lab is a collection of weekend electronics projects. Each one runs on a $3 Wi-Fi chip that reports to this site.
Why an ESP8266?
Wi-Fi included
No extra parts. The chip joins your network and answers web requests like a tiny server.
Costs almost nothing
Boards cost a few dollars, so you can leave one inside every project instead of borrowing it back.
Easy to program
Write in the Arduino IDE, upload over USB, and open the result in any browser on your network.
Try it live
The dashboard talks to the board in real time. Turn its LED on and off from your browser.
