Control Rasp Pi slide shows wirelessly
Wrap Up
You should have ample opportunity to evolve the wireless clicker into other projects. Combining a Rasp Pi with an ESP8266 module is pretty straightforward. The process includes hardware components, software components, and the IDE programming and integration. Just break the project down into its parts and get each one working individually; then, combine everything into something interesting.
