- Tue Feb 20, 2018 3:18 pm #74093 Hi all !
With my ESP8266 module I managed to control the pin 2 of it through a rudimental website .
My question is how can I make the out pin 3 of the ESP8266 as well to do the same. In other words how can I add an available output through my code so that I have two available outputs and control them through my website. I post my code to tell what should I change in order for that to happen.
Also what should amend to my code in order for the output 2 to be high as long as the button on the website is still pressed and not to be high when it is pressed once as it's now. If that it´s not the right group to post that kind of questions can you tell me please which is it ?

Thank you very much in advance
