I goofed and thought the normal ESP32 breakout board would work, not realizing there are 40 pins on this one. Can anyone help me find a breakout board to use?
Please describe the problem you want to solve.

ah ty!
I just want to find a breakout board to start coding on this board. I cant seem to find a 40pin one that would be compatible. I can return if this is just a bad brand or not well supported.
That is a standard type of breakout board, and you can "start coding" on it.

Compatible with what? What are your project requirements?
What was your "normal ESP32 breakout board"? Share a link.
I've personally reflowed about 1,500 ESP32 WROVER modules but have not heard of "normal ESP32 breakout board". Please don't make us guess. Thanks.
I think I had my terminology wrong .I need a Terminal adapter for it
This is what I have but its too small
Found this one on Amazon, if this is too elaborate maybe check Ali Express.

If its just for prototyping a couple of small breadboards is a good option
That is elaborate, but id get it however it says only compatible with that brand as the pins aren't the same. Debating returning mine and getting the ones suggested with this brand as I only need a few to prototype.
I find it odd that the same board such as wrover could have different pin configurations based on manufacturer when they all use the espressif chips
Hi @mkane. If you have a soldering iron and supplies, you could easily make your own screw terminal breakout for your board. If you get the screw terminals with a 0.1" pitch, then you can simply solder female headers and the screw terminals to a piece of stripboard, then make a cut in each of the tracks so that there isn't an electrical connection between the pins opposite from each other on the ESP32 board.
You could do the same with perfboard, but it will probably be a little bit more work since you will need to make solder bridges to connect each pin in the female headers to the adjacent pin on the screw terminal (when using stripboard, the strips make the electrical connections between the pins so no bridges are required).
You don't need a breakup board. Just connect your ESP32 with a USB cable to PC and start coding.
