/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>2541132
I saw discussion about esp32 in /ohm/, so I jumped the gun and asked my questions there, but I now realize that this may be the better place
>>2534035
My question is about the minimum requirements for an esp32 to run. I would like to use something like picrel to flash bare modules and then solder a couple wires directly to the modules for power. Is this possible, or do the modules require such complicated circuits and components that it would be more effective to just buy a minimal board, or, are the castellated pins too small to solder with a basic iron? My main concerns are availability, cost, size, and ease of assembly

I have a similar question. Specifically, the minimum for an esp32 to run.
