I am not sure this board is useful, but it works properly :wink:

This board fits the box good :wink:

Nice work! It looks like a commercial product.
Thanks a lot for your high appraisal of this device. I designed this board just for fun but now I really like it with this enclosure. I would plan to improove this board a little (omit unnecessary functions and add useful features) and to start production of this device.
@NeverDie said in 💬 MultiRF MultiVoltage ProtoBox:
What about the antenna?
I use very simple solution for all my boards. I just solder wire and fix it with glue pen to the board to improve reliability. Not very ideal for 433MHz board (~20cm) but perfect for 868MHz (~10cm). By the way I tested different modules with Yury (433/866). we found 868Mhz optimal frequency. Excellent range (up to 10x compareble to NRF) and very good feedthrough. So may be it is the most optimal rf solution.

And which battery? Small 250 mAh Li-ion?
May be. With usb and onboard charger of course :wink:
@gohan said in 💬 MultiRF MultiVoltage ProtoBox:
may I ask how did you solder all the small SMD parts?
I soldered all of my prototypes by hand. I use simple soldering gun and flux. All boards batches are assembled on the factory of course (manually or automatic, depends on the batch size).

Maybe this could fit

It is not antenna it is... mechanical spring. I tried to use many of them and all of them are much worse compareble with single wire antenna. It has very bad characteristic. :-1: I verified it in modeling software and in real life.

Do you have a photo of this?
