----------
- pinMode, digitalRead, digitalWrite
- analogRead
Pin numbers correspond directly to the esp8266 GPIO pin numbers. To read GPIO2,
call digitalRead(2);
- analogRead(0) reads the value of the ADC channel connected to the TOUT pin.
- pin interrupts (attachInterrupt, detachInterrupt)
Interrupts may be attach to any GPIO pin. Standard Arduino interrupt types are
supported: CHANGE, RISING, FALLING.
- shiftIn, shiftOut
- millis, micros, delay, delayMicroseconds
- yield (call that once in a while in long loops; delay() works as well)
- millis, micros
- delay, delayMicroseconds, yield
Remember that there is a lot of code that needs to run on the chip besides the sketch
when WiFi is connected. WiFi and TCP/IP libraries get a chance to handle any pending
events each time the loop() function completes, OR when delay(...) is called.
There is also a yield() function which is equivalent to delay(0). The delayMicroseconds
function, on the other hand, does not yield to other tasks, so using it for delays
more than 20 milliseconds is not recommended.
- Serial
Only 8n1 is supported right now. flush() doesn't work, and there is no proper TX buffer.
When sending long strings (>128 chars at a time) something might get lost.
There will be some diagnostic output from WiFi libraries unless you call Serial.begin.
Only 8n1 is supported right now. By default the diagnostic output from WiFi
libraries is disabled when you call Serial.begin. To enable debug output again,
call Serial.setDebugOutput(true);
- Ticker
Library for calling functions repeatedly with a certain period. Two examples included.

- EEPROM
This is a bit different from standard EEPROM class. You need to call EEPROM.begin(size)
before you start reading or writing, size being the number of bytes you want to use.
Size can be anywhere between 4 and 4096 bytes.
EEPROM.write does not write to flash immediately, instead you must call EEPROM.commit()
whenever you wish to save changes to flash. EEPROM.end() will also commit, and will
release the RAM copy of EEPROM contents.
release the RAM copy of EEPROM contents.
Three examples included.
- I2C (Wire library)
Only master mode works, and I haven't tested if Wire.setClock gives correct frequency.

- WiFi (ESP8266WiFi library)
This is mostly similar to WiFi shield library. Differences include:
* WiFi.mode(m): set mode to WIFI_AP, WIFI_STA, or WIFI_AP_STA.
* WiFi.softAP(ssid) or WiFi.softAP(ssid, passphrase) to set up an AP.
* call WiFi.softAP(ssid) to set up an open network
* call WiFi.softAP(ssid, passphrase) to set up a WPA2-PSK network
* WiFi.macAddress(mac) is for STA, WiFi.softAPmacAddress(mac) is for AP.
* WiFi.localIP() is for STA, WiFi.softAPIP() is for AP.
* WiFi.RSSI() doesn't work
* WiFi.scanNetworks() doesn't work yet
* WiFi.printDiag(Serial); will print out some diagnostic info
WiFiServer and WiFiClient behave mostly the same way as with WiFi shield library.
- Other libraries that don't rely on low-level access to AVR registers.
