@javier Can you share your eagle design files,if i am not asking for too much? i was also working on this and there are no boards available so far and as u said it is a ppain to work with these non breadboard friendly boards on a protoboard. @peter Scargill hello sir i have seen your videos too.Nice job.

That is a great board for experimentation, to create a stand alone project though you need something like the board at ByVac (http://www.byvac.com/bv3/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=172http://) This will give lots of I/O plus there is a very easy Rapid Application Development system on board which is interactive so no need to get out the old fashioned Arduino with its write,compile,download and see method of development.

Very nice INDEED... yes, the BIGGEST headache using these boards is the damned 3v3 interface - absolutely everything of mine is 5v based (Arduinos,custom boards using the 1284 chip etc). That looks neat - well amazingly only YESTERDAY I send off to China for my OWN version - I'll detail it on my blog when it turns up but it'll be a couple of weeks - incidentally I'm UK based and China is definitely the way to go for PCBs - around a tenner for 10 prototype boards - it really is not worth making up hand wired boards any more... I've pretty much the same thing - interfacing, decent 3v3 reg... forgive me if I'm wrong but I'm a little worried from the picture about the 3v3 reg you put on there - general chatter on the forums (I've not had the meter out yet) is that these ESP chips need up to 250ma peak.. can you handle that?

I'm kind of jealous as I played safe and went for red.. the purple boards look really neat...
