- Thu Jul 09, 2015 7:18 pm #22885 Congrats!! It looks good. I'd like to see the schematic on the instructions page as well as the Fritzing diagram. The mounting of the ESP8266-01 ... personally I'd suggest this kind of socket:

as it would make the separation of the copper strips easier. For cutting the tracks, I find this instructables invaluable:

But again, great work!! Its awesome when folks like yourself share experiences and circuit plans and stories.
