Excellent work - if you upgrade to the ESP32-S2 or S3 you can drop the auto programming FETs, fwiw!

Hah I was like man that ESP is just kind of sitting there, but no it's soldered in that position. Made me LOL.

Yeah, some of them have SMA connectors or you can add an antenna, but that's more work than just placing it in a good spot.
