    AM612

    I thought something more original than AM612. It has a supply voltage of 2.4-3.2V, if I'm not mistaken.

    No it's 2.7-3.3, which is not great for button cell as a fair share of the capacity will not be available.

      Yeah, it's an AM612. I think when I originally put this together I didn't realize the low cutoff voltage :|

      We'll see how long it lasts...
      I guess options then are to add a buck converter or strap AAAs on the back instead

      Black fresnel lens? what?? I might have to find some of those

        They are on Aliexpress. Not even expensive.

            thanks guys, i just ordered a few :)
            @berkseo i was searching for buck/boost converters and found TPS61098 which when i searched for turned up on one of you designs :)

            what i can't figure out just yet is how to wire it up for our application. can you shed any light on that, please?

            well, i think i may have sorted it.... GND and MODE to ground. VSUB is 3.3 (or 3v if i do the 61098) out (not being used in this application?).

            SW inductor, vin of course, and vmain is the output for the mcu i think

              Are these for the S16 smd sensors ? If yes, can you please give me a link of where you ordered them ? I couldn't get any, LCSC sold me the sensors but refused to order the lenses for me, and Senba can send them "for free" but with a very high express shipping fee.

                  TPS610981DSE, see table in datasheet, paragraph 5
                  I use the schema from the datasheet, paragraph 9.2.2
