Can't program arduino with NRF connected
-
In sleep its using 1,68mA. powerLED is still on the arduino.
Tried to give it some external power. So I connected 12V to the raw input. But now the NRF is dead. :S really don't know whats going wrong.
There is coming 10V out of the Vcc when i connected 12V to the RAW.

I had bad experiences with Pro mini clones --- 12V is the absolute maximum that their on-board regulator support, and even not crossing the 12V frontier, they get very hot when near by it.
I fried some arduinos / radios before learning it properly ;-) The first sympthon is the high voltage (also high current) on VCC (sometimes only the radio fry, as the arduino chip is a bit less sensible ).
So if you are not using real/good arduinos, avoid to power via 12V. I use cheap mobile phone (USB) charges providing 5V to arduino, and a 3V3 stepdown in Radio.

Yes, I was referring to 12V on raw. At least to me it was enough to fry some arduinos / radios...
@rvendrame well, for the price i could burn one once in a while :P
But i guess there must be something wrong even before i put 12v on the raw input. I made like 10 sensors now and never had this before that i couldn't upload a sketch with the nrf connected.

Right, probably that arduino was already damaged even before the 12V... But I would keep an eye on that 12V --- As I really didn't a good experience with that.
