![]() My second issue is that when you have done your breadboarding, and want to go to a permanent project, which does not always need a dedicated PCB, you are now required to either live with things on a breadboard, scary to say the least or have a “spider” with many modules and wires, in a box or partly on protoboard etc…My Solution, the ESP32-S DEV Board, in Arduino Uno form factorMy solutionWhile not the most elegant, personally I really like the size, and layout of the humble Arduino Uno, with its standardised pinouts, and a large number of addon shields available for the platform. I am quite sure many people can relate to this problem. These modules are cumbersome to fit on a breadboard, to say the least, taking up a lot of space, and leaving very little space to connect to its pins with anything else.Some of these modules do not even fit on the breadboard, making it necessary to hang one side off the breadboard or use two breadboards with a gap in the middle. This is great for a project, but as most projects do not start on a custom-built circuit board, I am usually required to use a breadboard module. I do however have an issue with it, which I usually get around by designing a custom circuit board with a specific purpose. ![]() ![]() ![]() It ticks almost all of my boxes for features required in a microcontroller, with a lot of gpio’s, WiFi, and Bluetooth, as well as a lot of storage space for code. ESP32-S in Arduino Form FactorThe ESP32-S is, at least in my opinion, one of the most versatile microcontrollers available to the Maker at this moment. ![]()
