Arduino Due with ESP-WROOM-02U (ESP8266) wifi connected to Blynk app via local server
Music: https://www.bensound.com
In this video, I connect an Arduino Due + ESP-WROOM-02U to my home wifi network and then I use the Blynk app to control an LED, and I can monitor the position of a potentiometer. This video is similar to my two previous videos where I connected an Uno and Mega to ESP modules. In this video, I also show how to flash an ESP module with the Arduino, and I show how to set up and run a Blynk local server.
This is a long video, so I have included a Table of Contents below:

There are several websites that I use in the video. The links are below:
This is the link to get the AT_Command firmware: https://www.electrodragon.com/w/File:...
This is the link to get the flasher app that I used in the video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3dU...
The Arduino sketch (sketch_jul21b.ino) can be found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xHC...
This video does a good job showing how to install Java JDK: • How to install Java JDK 10 on Windows...
This link takes you to the documentation page of the Blynk website. http://docs.blynk.cc/#hardware-set-up...
