[Swansea Hackspace] ESP8266 wifi module

[Emyr Morris]

I was reading the lasted Hackaday blog on these last night

http://hackaday.com/2014/12/08/compiling-your-own-programs-for-the-esp8266/

at the foot of the page there is a new link to an easier toolchain than the
one mentioned in the bulk of the blog post

so, at least three toolchains already if not more... It would be
interesting to know which is the easiest.
