| − | The ESP8266 module can be used als a general purpose digital pulsecounter device for various digitale sensors. Think about optical sensors with a digital output. To be used for things like gas, water, electricity, door open/dicht counters, etc.
| |
| | | | |
| − | In this example we will connect an optical sensor. Connect the digital output to some chosen GPIO pin on the ESP module. Load the firmware and follow the firmware specific instructions.

| |
| − | A simple ESP8266 module like the ESP-01 is sufficient. We will use a TCR5000 optical sensor that is widely available. Connect pin 3 (DO) to some GPIO on the ESP and power up both the ESP and the sensor.
