A project log for ESP8266 control of Addressable LED's

ESP8266 board for SPI-like control of addressable LED strips

I've redesigned the board to try to address some of the issues with the first PCB. It's using the esp-07 variant board instead of the esp-201 since the need to swap out MCU's quickly is nicer for prototyping than for trying to put together a bunch of the units. The female headers I was using cost more than almost anything else, so taking those out dropped the price dramatically. Additionally, there's a CH340G for doing USB to conversion that should make the things much simpler to hand out. The updated designs are up on github and in the hands of dirtypcbs. I'll see how this works out in a month or so.
