@col000r if you want to use it on a breadboard you'll need to either buy or solder a pitch changer (just a small, cheap board with female pins that match your board and 2.54mm male pins. you can get premade boards to make it easier and just solder on the pin headers https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/adapter-breakout-boards/643?s=N4IgjCBcoBw1oDGUBmBDANgZwKYBoQB7KAbXAAYBmAdjHJAF0CAHAFyhAGVWAnASwB2AcxABfUQQBMpEMz6tEACwAEStMJw9GooA

if you just want to get it to wires you can just get the premade esp32 terminal adapter to make it even easier

@raptor85 oh interesting! I've never stumbled upon 1.27mm pins before. Thanks a lot for the pointers! I might get a pitch changer for my breadboarding needs! - Would feel better than using a "full-sized" C6 for breadboarding and then just hoping it works the same on the mini version...

@col000r it's a pretty common size, also pretty common on small embedded controllers to have paired breakout boards/programming boards/etc to interface with them. Sometimes they're bare like the esp32s (since it has all hardware onboard) but on others you'll have chips for a usb/jtag/whatever flash interface/etc on the breakout board instead of on the controller
