Esp8266 (esp-03) breakout
Option 1: buy A PCB breakout

If you're willing to buy three, OSH-Park has a made-to-order ESP-03 breakout board. 


Option 2: wonky header sockets

This is what I use, because it didn't cost me anything, and it's good enough for prototyping. I'm using female header sockets I had leftover from XBee projects.



Option 3: The Hari Wiguna DIY breadboard friendly way

Described in his youtube video, Hari came up with a good way to make the ESP8266 ESP-03 breadboard friendly by using scrap LED anode and cathode clippings, and a piece of perfboard.
