The biggest downsides of the -01 is the missing breakout of GPIO16 (for deep sleep) and of analog in pin (for any analog measuring). If these two pins would be accessible, the -01 version would still be my number one board to consider for most of my projects.
So my question is:
Are there any efforts/projects/plans for a board with
- similar size to ESP8266-01 or -03, (also thickness, e.g. single sided)
- broken out GPIO16 (or solder bridge for deep sleep connection)
- broken out AIN0
- 2.54 mm pitch
Or would there be interest in such a board from other sides?
Best regards,
Thomas
