Creating an automatic fireworks Igniter

So after being frustrated last year over the manual lighting of fireworks, the terrible quality of butane grill lighters, and the danger and chaos of having kids swarming around so close to the fireworks, we decided to build an automated system using the awesome ESP32 Thing. The result was a spectacular show this year, and people were a nice long distance from the danger and the mobile control over the fireworks was a total blast. Fun for the whole family thanks to IOT, and Espressif, and Sparkfun and some nice hackery.

You can read more about it on our github page and there's some fun videos up there too.
