This is called an ESP32 and is very similar to an Arduino. You plug it in via USB, it flashes it with the WLED software and then it becomes a Wi-Fi access point. All you have to do is you literally flash the thing in a web browser. It's kind of like when you go on YouTube and you search for like smart home stuff,. A lot of that stuff is enthusiast and I think we're developers. So we are more technical than their average enthusiast user. But as long as you understand like a little bit of networking and IP addresses and whatnot, you can get up and go in and you literally just plug the thing in and it finds it.
In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk through an introduction to electronics that you can do in your own home with microcontrollers.
