h2. ESP-01

These are the correct way to connect the ESP-01 to the breadboard.  The second has a parts list, mostly direct from manufacturers.  All I really need is the capacitors for the second (preferred) layout but having the special connectors for the breadboard will make it much easier to view the connections.

I should also look for more pre-cut wires of different colors than what I just bought.
