Wire the 0V and 3.3V from your best power source direct to module power pins.

Include the electrolytic and ceramic direct across the module power pins.

Wire from module power pins down to the breadboard for the rest of the hook up.

I'got some experiment cards with solder islands. I'll tight everything up on them and try to hook it up as neatly as possible when I get home tonight, thanks!

- Wed Mar 07, 2018 4:54 pm #74448 Well I've solved it. Somehow. I rebuilt everything on a PCB, main difference being picking up a 470 uf capacitor and of course resoldering everything. I have no idéa what it was, but it is now running!!

Thanks for guiding me right,
