Arduino IDE
• The Arduino IDE enables you to write and edit code and convert this code into instructions that NodeMCU
hardware understands.

Sketches
• A sketch is the name that Arduino uses for a program.

• There are two special functions that are a part of every Arduino sketch: setup() and loop().
• The setup() is called once when the sketch starts.
• It’s a good place to do setup tasks like setting pin modes.
• The loop() function is called over and over and is the heart of most sketches.
• You need to include both functions in your sketch, even if you don’t need them for anything.

Reading Analog Voltage

• The ESP8266-12E module has one ADC pin.

• The ADC pin has a 10-bit resolution, which means you’ll get values between 0 and 1023.

Photoresistor (Light Sensor)

• The photoresistor is a light-sensitive, variable resistor.
• Photoresistors are perfect for making light-controlled switches.
