and love it more when i saw your reflection from your lcd.
here is what i have on a mini breadboard too.
ESP-03
Silab usb to serial
switch on GPIO12
led on GPIO2
not really sure if its impossible to power the ESP with FT232RL 3.3v/50ma output (lowest i tried is 150ma),
but if later you will see problem like unable to connect to AP, not complete boot up, boot loop, mostly this are power related issue.
you might want to change your power supply. but 5V from usb is still good to use.
Wow, that's packed! Well done! I have the ESP-01 but my ESP-03 is not here yet. Looking forward to having more I/O pins.
I use a 3.3V regulator and power mine with a 5V wall adaptor now. I didn't want to add power to the "why doesn't this work?" equation.
