Arduino Due + ESP8266: Web Control LED

This example show how to implement a simple web server on Arduino Due with ESP8266 ESP-12 WiFi Module. User visit it with GET method to turn ON/OFF the on-board LED of Arduino Due.

to turn ON LED:
http://ipaddress?led=1
to turn OFF LED:
http://ipaddress?led=0

This demo run with ESP-12, suppose it work on any ESP8266 module.


In fact, it's not too stable! Sometime will lost if cannot detect "+IPD".

Connection:
ESP-12 VCC connect to separated power of 3.3V
Due GND - ESP-12 GND
Due TX3 - ESP-12 RX
Due RX3 - ESP-12 TX
ESP-12 CH_PD connect to ESP-12 VCC

Due connect with PC USB, such that we can monitor the status of ESP-12.

Start Serial Monitor, at 9600 baud, to reset and start run the program.
