The white boards and the yellow boards with regards to the pins are identical, when you plug them into a standard bread board they take the whole width like no pins available to the left or right, I use two bread boards side by side to get over this restriction, the information that there is a :-
+ 10K resistor between GPIO2 and GND;
Is incorrect this resistor is connected between GPIO15 and GNDL

Guess Electrodragon can't be trusted either, huh?

It's easy to make this mistake when follow the tracks you have to remember the description like GND and GPIO15 etc no the silk screen refer to the pins not the esp pads

I went to my local electronics store and bought some 2mm pitch headers. They fit nicely so it seems that you can get garden variety 2mm pitch headers and have them work. Thanks everyone.
