Exists a lot of adapter, but I think this is a good choice, you must print with reduced extruder size like 0.31 and reduce the flow to get a good print.Now you must add the wire, but first probably your printer generate waste and close the little hole, usually I’m going to drill It to clear with 0.9mm bit of my CNC.CNC drill bits on AliExpressI use a telephone wire that is a single copper wire with 0.6mm of diameter, and I’m going to insert in the adapter.Insert it into the innermost holes and push it out about 3mmesp32 wroom 32 socket wiring step 01esp32 wroom 32 socket wiring step 02Bend the wire to the external of the adapter.esp32 wroom 32 socket wiring step 03esp32 wroom 32 socket wiring step 04Cut external part of the wire, and extract,esp32 wroom 32 socket wiring step 05then reinsert in the internal and external hole.esp32 wroom 32 socket wiring step 06Now check if you need to cut more the wire of the internal hole, and bend It.esp32 wroom 32 socket wiring step 07Repeat for all pins.esp32 wroom 32 socket breadboard friendlyesp32 wroom 32 socket breadboard friendly bottomNow you can use It directly on the breadboard.esp32-wroom-32 socket programming flash breadboard photoProgramming board PCBThe next step is to do a PCB instead the breadboard to program the device, I’m going to use the adapter only to create/test new circuit.ESP32 wroom 32 S programming board pcbHere the list of component:Shopping ListBased on the tutorial “ESP32-wroom-32: flash, pinout, specs and IDE configuration” I create a PCB.
