If you download the source as a .zip file extract the files into a folder with the name WX_LED_Sectional to use with the Arduino IDE

Because of the limited Memory (RAM) and lack of a garbage collector I am avoiding using Strings and other Class / functions that cause memory fragmentation the WX download needs 30000 bytes of continuous memory to succeed so if it is not going to change put it in eeprom.

The *.h files are not really ‘c’ style header files they started as .ino then a change, update and/or something I did to the Arduino IDE broke that. Renaming the files to something else like .txt the Arduino editor ignored them. The workaround was to use the .h extension and as a bonus the compiler now assembles them in order of the #include not alphabetically.

Code should compile as is by putting all files in the WX_LED_Sectional folder using the Arduino IDE with included Libraries:

Libraries needed are
  ESP8266WiFi		(Board Manager. Type "ESP8266" in the text box to search and install the ESP8266 software for Arduino IDE.)
  ESP8266mDNS 		(part of the esp8266 core for Arduino environment)
  ESP8266WebServer 	(bundled with the version of Arduino IDE)
  - FastLED by Daniel Garica

Optional:
 to use autoconnect
  - WiFiManager by tzapu,tablatronix

  for TSL2561 light sensor
   - Adafruit TSL2561 by Adafruit
