[ale] OT: ESP8266

[SpaXpert, Inc.]

Looking at the docs
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-huzzah-esp8266-breakout/using-arduino-ide
That thing should be really easy to get up and running. All you need is a
male RS-232 connector as most everything (newer than 1988 afaik) should
have one.  I've never dealt with the NodeMCU thing, so if it was my
project, I'd use the Arduino IDE.
