Hardware

This is a custom designed Printed Circuit Board, so there are a few parts needed to go from abstract connections to components on copper.

Schematics	The circuit design starts here, take a look to see how all the parts connect together and what their values are.
Layout	Here you can find the size and shape of the board, mounting hole locations, and more details about the physical properties of the PCB.
Assembly	Want to build your own? Here you can find the instructions on how to hand solder the surface mount components.
Components	Here you can find the Bill of Materials, and more information of the specific components that are on the board.

Firmware

The ESP82266 WiFi module can be programmed with the Arudiuno language and IDE. This makes getting up and running a snap with plenty of existing libraries for complicated functions.

Setting Up	Learn how to set up the Arduino IDE for developing on this specific board, and how to load sketches onto the board.
Blank Sketch	Want to create your own code? Here’s a starting off point with the board specific settings.
Packet Visualizer	Learn more about how the Packet Visualizer sketch works.
