ESP8266 simple output write does not work?

Projects Programming

I use a mod of the blink program to drive an ESP8266 output dependent of the state of a declared input pin. While the output does work when assigned to the blink program, when using a condition dependant on the state of a declared input pin the corresponding output does not react.

What do I stupidly do wrong?

int outPin=13;
int inPin=14;
void setup() {
  pinMode(outPin, OUTPUT);  
  digitalWrite(outPin, LOW);
  pinMode(inPin, INPUT); 
}

void loop() {
  if(inPin==HIGH)
  {delay(50); 
  digitalWrite(outPin, HIGH); }  // Turn the LED on (Note that LOW is the voltage level
                                    // but actually the LED is on; this is because 
   if(inPin==LOW)                                 // it is acive low)
  {delay(50);                     
  digitalWrite(outPin, LOW); } // Turn the LED off by making the voltage HIGH
}

You're not reading the pin, you're comparing the pin number.
