Mounts for ESP-01

One of the problems with the ESP-01 is mounting it on a breadboard, another is programming it, and finally getting 3.3V power to it when most of your power is 5V.

I think I solved all 3.

I had this programmer for a while now, it works well.

But I just got a surprise today with that mount you see on the top.

An ESP-01 mounts on it.  It has 10 holes for the ESP-01, but the bottom two are not used.

Although I had to solder my own pins, it was breadboard friendly.

It also could convert a 5Vin to 3V so it solved that problem as well.

This pins with the triangle are for serial communications.

It is an extremely nice widget to have.  I will start stocking these.

And the really cool thing is it fits on a mini breadboard with room to spare.
