 analogWrite(pin, value) enables software PWM on the given pin. PWM may be used on pins 0 to 15. Call analogWrite(pin, 0) to disable PWM on the pin. Value may be in range from 0 to 1023.
-to 255 is normal on an Arduino board, as it's an 8bit ADC,  but ESP8266 is 10 bit so 1023 is full duty cycle.

-GPIO1, which is also TX, is wired to the blue LED on many devices.  Note that the LED is active low (connected to Vcc and sinks through the chip to ground) so setting a logical value of 0 will light it up.  Since GPIO1 is also the TX pin, you won't be able to blink the LED and perform Serial communications at thew same time unless you switch TX/RX pins.

+Note that if this pin is pulled LOW on power up, the ESP will not boot. (The normal LED is from Vcc to IO1, an LED from GND to IO1 is enough to prevent boot)
