Hello,

this is a very nice find, thank you for the link.
3.3V regulator is big enough for using a pa/lna module so this looks like a great board for a serial gateway.
It seems to have interface for W5500 too so it can make an ethernet gateway also.

Has anyone set up this board for use with MySensors -- I just got two, and am trying to figure out how the ESP8266 interface would work -- do I need the original "AT" firmware on the ESP 8266 board to work with this one?

[gohan]

That looks like a connector for the old esp8266 01. I don't think it could be used in mysensors. The board looks quite promising for the price

Why would you prefer a board such as this over an nRF5 board? It seems to me that you lose all the benefits you that you would get from the on-chip integration of ARM plus nRF radio.

[gohan]

Stm32 is quite powerful mcu with many gpio, I don't see it that bad if you don't want to go the nrf way

[mitchmitchell]

Did anyone ever use any of these boards?

I ordered one, but it never came.

[mitchmitchell]

Hmm, I got two of them -- haven't had a chance to really dig into them yet.
