I think that support for this should mature fairly quickly given the 
price and general popularity of the Espressif products.

I haven't had time to look at software issues for the last week or so, 
and it'll be another week or so before I get some more time, but I 
thought I should acknowledge the progress report, and I hope that the 
hardware development goes to plan. Certainly, the 0.2 board was working 
well enough in my tests, and the only issue to be resolved was the use 
of pins on the expansion header that couldn't be pulled up, although I 
managed to use an external pull-up resistor to work around that issue, 
which probably isn't ideal but does demonstrate that solutions can often 
be found.
