ESP8266 Community Forum

- Wed Jul 08, 2015 4:15 am #22757 Hi! So I read lots of tutorials about how to connect ESP8266 to Arduino and talk to it from the Serial Monitor. But i'm having trouble finding a good solution for connecting a sensor to it. For example:
I want to connect a button to ESP8266 (I suppose it should go to one of the GPIO pins) and have it send some data to the PC (suppose ESP8266 is set up as an access point and the PC is connected), or at least update the data on it's sever instantly so that it could be used by the PC.
Is it possible to program the ESP8266 using Arduino, but have the project working with only the power source, the ESP8266 and the button. If so, how? And if not - what's the best possible solution, maybe I need an ATtiny or something?
Thanks!!

No arduino needed . Connect any sensor direct but where and how depend on how many pins on module
