Socket for ESP8266 ESP-12

It so happened that the personal example of Alex - T and his success infected me with ESP8266. Changing the firmware on ESP-12 and every time unplug the MK is a thankless task. It is clear that not every ESP-12 will live to enlightenment. On the way of mastering, I wanted to eliminate senseless victims as much as possible. However, the time for switching socket must also be reduced. This article is for those who need a socket for the ESP8266 ESP-12.

The search for ready-made solutions was not crowned with success. However, there are several options for making a panel yourself. A suitable option was found not far - habrahabr.ru/post/277825
free_arduino , writes that he did not like AGP. However, in my opinion, they turned out to be more suitable, and AGP is a bit simpler than PCI-E.

Go. Creatively we unsolder the connector of the help of the hair dryer on 480. Good thing I had someone to help.

Armed hacksaw blade.



We get a blank from AGP. Again we study the experience of free_arduino , pulling out unnecessary conclusions.



For gluing the future adapter, only a piece of plastic of a suitable thickness is missing. I came across 5mm polycarbonate. It will be glued between the sides of the connector.



Glue and get the finished product number 1







Saw off the excess and now ready socket. On the side, I glued the halves of the adapter for the ESP8266 and did the wiring. Enough leg length AGP connector.



Since on AGP I made a groove deliberately deeper than necessary, the MK flies a plane when ESP-12F connects well with contacts. For reliable contact put the liner. In the photo it is a white piece of suitable thickness. At the same time nicely ennobled appearance.





Voila The socket for ESP8266 is ready. And the actual programmer. Perhaps it made sense to make a PSU and USB-TTL converter on the same board with a programmer to reduce the number of connections.



I made another socket for the experiences. It took me several hours to manufacture the second panel. She successfully got on the circuit board showed her best side.





I hope my experience will be useful to you.
