ESP 8266 12 e holder

thingiverse

This is a custom holder designed specifically for programming the ESP 8266 12e chip. It allows for press-fit installation of the chip, eliminating the need for soldering. The chip securely makes contact with the terminals without any additional effort required. I couldn't find my breadboard at home, so I created this holder instead. Inspiration struck and I decided to add a spring mechanism that presses the pins onto the board. However, when fully threaded, some of the pins failed to make contact. The prototyping pin board will be updated soon with these modifications. In the meantime, here's a link to a similar project on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:456900/#files I made a few minor adjustments to the holder, including making it more snug and adding pins on the bottom. Adapters were also added to the side for additional functionality. One potential issue with this design is that it lacks a cover for the underside of the board, which would help keep the pins in place. This isn't strictly necessary, but it's an improvement worth considering.
