CTBot is a simple Arduino class to manage Telegram Bot on ESP8266 platform. It relies on ArduinoJson library so, in order to use a CTBot object, you need to install the ArduinoJson library first (you can use library manager). You also need to install the ESP8266 Arduino Core and Library. Don't you know Telegram bots and how to setup one? Check this.
- Please pay attention to the installed version of ArduinoJson library: it MUST be 5.13.5 or lesser.
- Added reply keyboards support
- Added contact messages support
- Manage WiFi connection (methods for connecting to an access point, set a static IP)
- Send and receive messages
- Inline keyboards
- Receive localization messages
- Reply keyboards (NEW)

The library works with the ESP8266 chipset: all the ESP8266 boards are supported.
