Bench Testing Made Easy: Build a Custom Breakout Board!
Video Not Working? Fix It Now
Create a DIY breakout board for easily testing your projects and components. Easily modifiable for your own needs, the design shown in this video supports both the ESP8266 D1 Mini and the ESP32 Mini, breaking out most GPIO pins. It also adds additional 5V, 3.3V and ground pins for connecting your peripherals. An optional level shifter is included for LED projects or when you need to shift a signal between 3.3V and 5V.
