Why do you need an Arduino? You could run everything using only the ESP's onboard processor. An ESP-12 would have enough IOs. Much smaller, too.

It's a simple program that can run on the ESP-01 that can toggle a pin for an LED and read the status of another with a switch. It sends and receives commands using xPL, a simple UDP protocol. The compiler and hardware setup is also described in detail in the new Wiki here. Today I added a simple xPL tester application, so that you can test without a complete xPL environment.

One AMS1117 power supply not enough

I wasn't aware that the development for using the ESP modules themselves had advanced so far! Definitely going to look into this now... thanks for piping up!
