ESP8266 Energy Monitor

Energy_Monitor.ino

/*
 *  This sketch sends ads1115 current sensor data via HTTP POST request to thingspeak server.
 *  It needs the following libraries to work (besides the esp8266 standard libraries supplied with the IDE):
 *
 *  - https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_ADS1X15
 *
 *  designed to run directly on esp8266-01 module, to where it can be uploaded using this marvelous piece of software:
