Blynk App and the SparkFun Thing!

Getting started with Blynk is fun and easy thanks to the magic of the SparkFun Thing and the ESP8266! The ESP8266 is a cost-effective, and very capable WiFi-enabled microcontroller. Like any microcontroller, it can be programmed to blink LEDs, trigger relays, monitor sensors, or automate coffee makers, and with an integrated WiFi controller, the ESP8266 is a one-stop shop for almost any Internet-connected project.
