There needs to be a web server hosted on an esp8266, this Arduino is controlling a servo motor that dispenses candy from the candy dispenser.

The first motors that I was using require 5V to operate, but, since I am using an ESP8266 (which has ~5V on its Vin pin) there were issues with power delivery and every time I would try to move the motor the ESP8266 would turn off.

As a solution to this, I purchased these servo motors which have an operating voltage of 3-6V. I can use the 3.3V power supply on the ESP8266 to drive this motor without requiring an external power supply.
