#8464 I just got an ESP-12; 16 connectors. I've read that the connectors are at 2mm pitch and I can see that my normal .1" (2.54mm) headers do not fit. One thing I also noticed is that the common header pins will not fit inside the holes on the ESP-12. I can see that digikey has 2mm pitch headers (http://www.digikey.com/catalog/en/partg ... ries/20251) but I would like to know if the pins on these headers will fit the holes on the ESP-12 or do I need headers with thinner pins??

#8467 I used these http://www.aliexpress.com/item/5pcs-lot ... 34129.html they are well made and include the necessary resistors I also tried the yellow ones they are now in the bin the tracks are so thin when you solder the pins on they burn the tracks (ended up soldering wires from the esp-12 to the pins) - ok it works but the white ones are much better.

#8474 Is there a version with 2mm female headers on the board and 2mm male headers for the esp?
(Obviously + 2.54mm male headers on the board.)

#8484 i heard the white adaptor boards don't actually fit onto breadboard or don't leave any pins to the left or right to add jumpers etc? also what are the resistors for?

i've ordered some yellow boards but they don't look great as you say - do they even fit breadboard?
