ESP8266 Developement Board and Programmer

thingiverse

I love using these ESP boards, but programming always requires a tedious lookup and learning process for each board individually - it's really frustrating. This guy uses the NODEMCU development board, making it super easy to remove the 12 unit with a heat gun. Simply replace it with one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TX43QEQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Use the PinHolder to position your pins, solder them pointy end up where the 12 unit was, and secure everything with glue around the Housing. The wedge of the clamp holds the unit in place. I've included two housings: one is specifically designed for ESP-01 as well as 07 and 12, while the other uses a 2X4 socket and wires down to the pins. I printed these housings in white so you can see through when the LED is on - it works perfectly. Everything fits together seamlessly because I made them out of ABS.
