Was getting some boards made and took a chance that it might not be functional.
If you can't tell, the board was done at SeeedStudio.
-
Wow! That was fast. Is that typical for SeeedStudio? It will probably be at least another week before I receive mine.

@NeverDie pcbway's turnaround was I ordered 450 boards on Saturday @2PM they were done on Monday @10pm and received to the door Wednesday but DHL decided to misread the pcbway invoice and wanted to charge me taxes and fees that were not due. They stupidly included shipping cost in with the value of goods. Rookie mistake, someone was hungover reading the invoices.
DHL from China to the West Coast of Canada is only usually 1-2 days. Was shipped at 10:30PM on Monday. But PCBWay is a horrible law breaking company who will put any amount on an invoice in an effort to pull one over on the tax (and duty) man and appease dishonest customers.

@nitroburn
Wow, again! 450 boards. I appreciate your leap of faith even more now.
Do you actually own that many Wemos's to hook them up to? Or was that just the minimum order size for such a fast turnaround?
-
@NeverDie lol, it wasn't that big for just one board. 450 boards total across a bunch of different projects and random boards. I did get 50 if this for a ton of wemos d1 minis I have but it was 50 because if I wanted more Than 10, the price jumped to where 50 was best value. Few dollars more vs 15. Also got the rfm68hw version. And about 10 other boards. Many leaps of faith but I figured if I was going to order 20 boards I actually needed, I might as well add 430 extras on for good measure.

Were you able to do your own panelizing? It seems like that's the best way to get the biggest savings on a large number of units.

It works.
Project completed.

Are there any foreseeable problems if I move CS to D3 or D4 and note that in the sketch? The SD shield uses D8 as CS and I will probably need both for a project. TIA.

Just changing it in a sketch doesn't change the electrical connection.

@NeverDie "Move" the trace to a different pin.

AFAIK, yes.
