const char password = "your_wifi_password";
WiFiServer server(80);
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
// Connect to Wi-Fi
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Connecting to Wi-Fi...");
  }
Serial.println("Connected to Wi-Fi");
  Serial.println("Starting server...");
server.begin();
}
void loop() {
  WiFiClient client = server.available();
  if (client) {
    String request = client.readStringUntil('

    if (request.indexOf("/led/on") != -1) {
      digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
      client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

      client.println("Content-type:text/html");
      client.println();
      client.println("<h1>LED is OFF</h1>");
    }
  }
}
```
Note: Replace "your_wifi_ssid" and "your_wifi_password" with your actual Wi-Fi credentials. Open a web browser and navigate to `http://<ESP8266_IP Address>/led/on` or `http://<ESP8266_IP Address>/led/off` to control the LED remotely.
These examples demonstrate the versatility of the Basic Component Kit for Projects and provide a starting point for your IoT project development.
