  ESP8266 Blink by Simon Peter
  Blink the blue LED on the ESP-01 module
  This example code is in the public domain
+ 
+ The blue LED on the ESP-01 module is connected to GPIO1 
+ (which is also the TXD pin; so we cannot use Serial.print() at the same time)
+ 
+ Note that this sketch uses BUILTIN_LED to find the pin with the internal LED
