Using Wifi
With the help of Quentin and Leo I worked with the ESP32-S3 to make a wifi signal.
Using Neil's code for web Blinking, I put it into Thonny after I downloaded Thonny and made it for MicroPython (ESP32) Espressif CDC Device @COM 9.
With doing that and connecting the ESP32-S3 to my computer with the antenna on it was able to send out a signal for my computer to use as a wifi connection and get on the local server. But this was before I made the PCB for it.
Using the reference from Neil's board and component example for the code, I was able to recreate it and mill it out but had problems with the consistency of the bit cutting through I think because of how unlevel the sacrificial board became over time. But I was able to make it work with telling the z to go 0.1 mm lower than it was supposed to.
After that I added the 1001 resistor, a blue led, a simple button, and the ESP32-S3, and tested it out to see if it worked.
Thankfully it did work once I changed the LED pin to 44, and button pin to 43.
