#46373 HI,

I heard you were a friendly bunch and was wondering if you could give me a few pointers at the beginning of my journey with ESP2866s?

I have an Adafruit Huzzah Module and my main programme is running on a Teensy 3.2 but I want add some WiFi and internet connectivity through the ESP2866.

Specifically to start with I want to monitor either a user or hashtag on twitter and get it to send the text of a tweet that fits the criteria to the teensy. On the teensy there might be some way that tweet is presented through sound or LEDS.

I am not sure how much of the work I should be getting the ESP2866 to do. I think it would beneficial to get it to do as much as possible as there will be quite a lot of processing going on on the Teensy as it is.

I imagine that I will need some kind of text parsing on the tweet as well to remove an URLs or images etc. I think this will be a useful thing to learn how to do anyway....

I have the ESPlorer software set up and have got the blinking LED to work so that's a start!!! Other than that I'm a total newb to the language, the way it works and how it interacts with other devices so I appreciate any help or advice or pointers that anyone is willing to share.

Thanks!
