### Things that work ###

#### pinMode, digitalRead, digitalWrite, analogRead ####
#### Basic Wiring functions ####

```pinMode```, ```digitalRead```, ```digitalWrite``` work as usual.

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) ####

Pin interrupts are supported through ```attachInterrupt```, ```detachInterrupt``` functions.
Interrupts may be attached to any GPIO pin, except GPIO16. Standard Arduino interrupt
types are supported: ```CHANGE```, ```RISING```, ```FALLING```.

#### shiftIn, shiftOut ####
#### millis, micros ####
#### delay, delayMicroseconds, yield ###
#### Timing and delays ####
```millis``` and ```micros``` return the number of milliseconds and microseconds elapsed after reset, respectively.

```delay``` pauses the sketch for a given number of milliseconds and allows WiFi and TCP/IP tasks to run.
```delayMicroseconds``` pauses for a given number of microseconds.

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

#### Serial ####

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);```
```Serial``` object works much the same way as on a regular Arduino. Apart from hardware FIFO (128 bytes for TX and RX) HardwareSerial has additional 256-byte TX and RX buffers. Both transmit and receive is interrupt-driven. Write and read functions only block the sketch execution when the respective FIFO/buffers are full/empty.

Only 8n1 mode is supported right now.

This is a bit different from standard EEPROM class. You need to call ```EEPROM.begin(size)```

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.

#### Other libraries

Libraries that don't rely on low-level access to AVR registers should work well. Here are a few libraries that were verified to work:

- [DHT11](https://github.com/adafruit/DHT-sensor-library) - initialize DHT as follows: ```DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE, 15);```
