Initial release of Minifigure Lightning System based on ESP8266 and WS2812b LED

[JoJos1220]

Today is a good day, because it is my first official Release of my Minifigure Lightning System to the community!

The Idea is to create a fully individual configurable LED Lightning system based on the ESP8266 and the famous WS2812b LEDs. It enables the possibility to enhance/trim a LED-chain for e.g. lightning things up like the famous Minifigures within my shelfs :).

I set it as a pre-release because the instructable page is actually not 100% finished and i need to do some handshakes. The sourcecode is actually done, tested and working correctly.

Check also out my Instructable page for installing the system and setting it up.
