NodeMCU1.0(12-E) footprint is too large #39

IMHO, the NodeMCU1.0(12-E) footprint is too large. Aparently this is drawn for a LoLin V3 NodeMCU Board rather than the NodeMCU v1.0.

It's not quiet easy to find the correct dimensions on the web. According to this PDF, the outer board dimensions should be 25.4mm x 48.26mm: https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-devkit-v1.0/blob/master/NODEMCU_DEVKIT_V1.0.PDF

According to the caliper, my boards have exactly these dimensions.

See pictures of both boards here: https://blog.squix.org/2015/03/esp8266-module-comparison-esp-01-esp-05.html

I've modified the footprint to match the actual dimensions. Furthermore I added some useful details.
