In this video I will go through the table centres I created for my wedding. Each had a ESP8266 and a neopixel ring in it and they all worked synchronously together as they were being controlled by Node red on a Pi Zero W

![[Was live] Get my router connection data using an ESP8266](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XW6l6iItdrU/mqdefault.jpg "[Was live] Get my router connection data using an ESP8266
Video starts at 5:05
The objective was to build a device that displayed the routers connection details on my desk (which we got working in this stream).
Originally the plan was to scrape the routers we page, but the page was dynamically loaded in JavaScript so that wouldnt work, I ended up using a background request I saw the page was making to update the page.
Ill be using an Wemos D1 Mini and a OLED screen
WEmos D1 Mini*: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/uzFUnIe
Oled Screen*: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/EqByrzb
Index of steps:
1) Investigation of how to get the data (just using chrome)
2) Getting the screen working
3) Making the post request to the router
4) Parsing the data and display it on screen
