As I wanted to enable solder-free prototyping I quickly designed this breakout board for the ESP8266-03 modules.

Specifications:
- USB input
- 3.3V 1A LDO
- included breadboard
- 1k resistors on all IOs
- ESP8266-03 soldered onboard
- FT230X USB to UART converter
- 3 LEDs connected to the FT230X
- available IOs: GPIO0/2/12/13/14/15/18
- button to start the ESP8266 bootloader
- 0ohm resistor to be unsoldered to allow 3.3V current measurement
- 0ohm resistor to be soldered to allow FT230X to start bootloader jumping procedure



Link to more details and detailed explanation in my website.
The board obviously is open source so please feel free to modify it as you wish.
