Lady Buggy, Wifi Edition

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ3CjPFoovk&t=2s "Lady Buggy" is a lady bug styled "buggy" I designed for our grandkids ranging in age from 2 years to, well, I'll just leave it at 2 years +. As shown in the video, Lady Buggy is a wifi enabled remote control vehicle that features both slow movement and ease of control. Lady Buggy uses a touch based iOS device locked in portrait mode (I have only tested with iOS devices, see Software section below) and simply requires dragging the red "button" around the display for forward, reverse and turning movement; easy enough for our 2 year old grandson to operate, with minor adult supervision of course. I've included the source code in the form of an Arduino sketch for the Adafruit Feather Huzzah ESP8266 if you wish to modify it for use with a different devices. Also, you will need soldering skills and soldering equipment, wire, and all parts listed in the first step, plus an Arduino IDE with appropriate libraries installed in order to complete Lady Buggy. As is usual, I probably forgot a file or two or who knows what else, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask as I do make mistakes in plenty. Designed using Autodesk Fusion 360, sliced using Cura 3.0.4 and printed in PLA on an Ultimaker 2+ Extended and an Ultimaker 3 Extended.
