![[TMT] - Using The Reset Button Of An ESP8266 As An Input
I think this a great solution to how to force config mode when using the WiFiManager library.
Apologies, Im a little over the two minute mark here, but I was pretty happy with what I had covered so I thought an extra few seconds would be worth not cutting anything!
Also I upgraded to windows 10 recently and Im just noticing that I have not increased the font size in the Arduino IDE so its a little small.

![Reducing latency between two ESP8266s for a blimp project! [Was live on Twitch]
I met Sophi Kravits at Dublin Hackaday Unconference and she was saying she was having some issues with latency on the her ESP8266 blimp project and I said we could take a look at what improvements we could make.
