I threw the code and the instructions into a Pastebin ---? -- come back and search for this?later if you decide to try it.
My Pastebin contains links to order the same hardware I tested with.? It's under $20,?coming from Shenzhen China.? You'll spend more on shipping than on the hardware itself.? When I order from there and ship with DHL, the shipments consistently arrive early, 2-3 days typical.
My biggest use case for devices from this company is in building cheap sensors (mostly temperature) that report sensor data over WiFi.? They are pretty resilient and reliable, especially for the price, and they boot in under 1sec.? Any network issues, they do a hard reboot (as I have them configured) resulting in amazing total uptime.? I get them to talk to Crestron over serial, or TCP, or UDP.? Other applications I've made with?their devices include: small tabletop LCD status displays, an automatic pool filler, an irrigation system monitor (measure water flow / solenoid current per zone), fireplace flame sensor (via IR camera), a network-to-serial driver for a large "stock ticker" LED sign, and a house gate controller.? Generally I'm happy with how the solutions have turned out.

Hi Michael,
?
that sounds really cool, although I might have to agree that my mileage would/will vary as I have not worked with Arduino before and don't use ChatGPT... ;-)

I was hoping for a "plug-and-play" solution, but might have to go down the route you drafted if nothing easier comes up!
