so before I make a PCB and order it for a lot of money (that's almost true, I have a coupon), I thought I buy parts for a lot of money, but hey - there's more money to collect now [http://hackaday.com/2017/04/18/up-up-up-2k-more-seed-funding-for-projects-that-matter/].

Some almost breadboard friendly 74LVC8T245 were ordered, although they have their pinheaders upside down. [http://www.ebay.de/itm/302193394421]

I have an ESP32 basic adapter board (dual row headers, no power converting), but I'll wait on the breadboard adapter I've ordered, with all the bells and whistles. (full disclosure, I wrote balls the first time)

With that the 20bugs on that project are almost spend :) but it's good to have it. There are also two #Hornbill in the making, but they arrive much later.
