I transfered my breadboard implementation to perfboard so that it fits under the NCS314 shield. The last time I had made anything from perfboard was a RAM card for the Apple II. That worked first time. This way way way simpler perfboard took way too many attempts to get right. If I had a dollar for every time I wired it up wrong I would have about $30. All I can say is I'm glad modern electronics are so resilient! Here's a piccy:

Level converter on the left, ESP01 on the right. Header in between so I can program the ESP01 without having to de-solder it. Creative use of the level converter to hold pins 3, 5, and 7 high when it is plugged in, but not interfere with the programmer when it isn't.
