Breadboard adapter for ESP32 dev. board

It is frustrating the first time you insert an ESP32 dev board into a breadboard and you notice there’s no room for wires.

What I usually do is putting a breadboard aside another one, but I don’t like it very much.

I decided then to split the small board into two pieces and insert them in a 3D printed base so that the dev board pins get into the first row of holes and the rest remain available.

  1. “It is frustrating the first time you insert an ESP32 dev board into a breadboard and you notice there’s no room for wires.”

    New to ESP32 and my exact thought when I first plugged in. I was like wtf 😀

  2. Brilliant! I’ve been searching for a solution to this problem for months. You’re a genius.

  3. Great idea! I made my adapter so that the ESP32 is in the second row. I still have 3 holes left. Now, my other ESP32 boards (NODEMCU32S) that only had one hole available now will have 3 more holes available. Thanks for sharing.
