This guide assumes you've completed the setup required to get your ESP8266 up and running with Arduino IDE and Adafruit IO. 

  • If you haven't yet set up your ESP8266 for use with Adafruit IO and the Arduino IDE, follow along with this guide. The setup only needs to be performed once.

The following Arduino libraries are required (install manually or through the library manager under Sketch-> Include Library-> Manage Libraries...):

Modify the variables near the top of the sketch to match your WiFi network's SSID, password, Adafruit IO username, and Adafruit IO key before programming your Feather with the sketch.
