/*
 * IRremoteESP8266: IRGCTCPServer - send Global Cache-formatted codes via TCP.
 * An IR emitter must be connected to GPIO pin 4.
 * Version 0.2  May, 2017

 * Example command - Samsung TV power toggle: 38000,1,1,170,170,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,63,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,63,20,20,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,1798\r\n

 *
 * How to use this program:
 *   1) Update "kSsid" and "kPassword" below for your WIFI network.
 *   2) Compile and upload the sketch to your ESP8266 module.
 *   3) (Optional) Use the serial connection to confirm it started and get the
 *      IP address.
 *   4) From a client machine, connect to port 4998 on the ESP8266, using
 *      'telnet', 'nc' (netcat), 'putty' or similar command, etc.
 *      You may need to install one.
 *   Unix/OSX:
 *     Start a shell. Then type:
 *       telnet <esp8266deviceIPaddress> 4998
 *   Windows:
 *     Start a new CMD window, then type:
 *       telnet <esp8266deviceIPaddress> 4998
 *
 *   5) Enter a Global Cache-formatted code, starting at the frequency,
 *      and then a return/enter at the end. No spaces. e.g.:
 *
 *   38000,1,1,170,170,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,63,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,63,20,20,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,1798
 *
 *   To exit the 'telnet' command:
 *     press <control> + <]> at the same time, then press 'q', and then <return>.
 *   or:
 *     <control> + <d> might work.
 *
 * This program will display the ESP's IP address on the serial console, or you
 * can check your wifi router for it's address.
