Esp8266 code doesn't work on Feather Huzzah

Hey All,
I've got some code that works as intended on a generic esp8266 board. I want to use this code on a Feather Huzzah.

The pinouts are different between the two boards so I update that before uploading. I change the board in the board manager and upload. As far as I can tell that's all I need to change.

The Huzzah starts up and connects to the wifi network but after a second or two it drops and the board resets/restarts. Before it crashes the serial monitor sends out a line of gibberish. I tried looking at it at different baud rates but it kept coming as gibberish.

How can I make this work on the Huzzah?

My code is in tabs. I've pasted each one separately
