Simple WiFi RGB Light Controller

We have a cheap LED strip that has RGB lights connected in parallel. The strip looks like a single LED, technically a single red, single green, and single blue LED. It came with a junk controller and terrible documentation. When we plugged it in it allows selecting between on/off, six colors, and a weird strobing animation.

This project uses a ESP8266 WiFi enabled microcontroller that runs a HTTP server and connects to our network. There is a web based frontend that allows one to see what color is currently being displayed, select color, and program an animation.
