 /**
 * Project WiFi Display
 * 
 *  This project is intends to enable WiFi Connectivity for the LED Panel
 *  In order to do, a WiFi Accesspoint configuration is used.
 *  The WiFi Access point serves a Dynamic Page where the text to 
 *  be sent can be written and the same would passed on through
 *  Serial Port on ESP8266.
 *  This program was tested on a NodeMCU V1 with ESP-12E module.
 *  There are two serial ports being used the `Serial` which is
 *  the built In one and the other is `SoftSerial` which is an emulated
 *  Software serial port. This would help to make the program compatible
 *  for even the ESP-01 module where only 1 serial port is used.
 *  Else using a ESP-12F/-12E/WROOM2 etc the SoftSerial can be used.
 *  
 *  The WiFi Access point has a Dynamic all pointing DNS feature that 
 *  helps to make the portal directly on the mobile phone or PC.
 *  This protal feature make the program look like a App.
 *  On a PC it would automatically redirect all Domains to the default
 *  first page.
 *  Upon successfully sending the data the Server also displays an 
 *  success message page.
