WLED Quick Start Guide: How to Install on ESP8266 and Configure WiFi

This is a quick start guide to get WLED up and running from scratch on an ESP8266 module. Included topics are: -Downloading a WLED binary release file -Flashing the ESP8266 module -Configuring WLED for WIFI access on your network -Talking to the WLED module on the network from a browser -Talking to the WLED module on the network from the free mobile app Note: Although connecting the ESP8266 3.3V logic level data out pin to the 5 V logic level LED data in pin seems to allow successful communication for most people, technically a level shift device should be used to properly translate the 3.3 V logic to 5V logic to guarantee operation. Then the series data resistor would connect between the output of the level shifter and the input of the LED, located closer to the level shifter side.
