So...

With an assembled ESP-M3 Everything! board on hand, need a way to talk to these.

Temporary Expedient

Initially, a simple adaptor to use an existing USB-Serial board. (Guess I'll have to design my own next... :P )

I like these little CJMCU boards

They do pretty near everything

& they're even breadboard friendly...

But, I need to be able to just poke my devices with it, so...

& wired appropriately.

The Plan Forward

To make these things really useful, it'd be nice to have a dedicated programming jig.

So I'm designing one.

Basically, it'll be a board with the exact same form as the ESP-Everything! boards themselves. (of course, much of the contents of the board will be different.) The programming header location will have short pogo pins in the pin header holes.
