Universal wireless sensor board w/NRF24l01+ and ESP8266 socket - ceech board

Hi @ceech, the link to the board info (above) on the MySensors website still talks about the old board. I assume if we purchase through MySensors we will indeed be getting this updated board? Looks really nice by the way. Thanks very much.
Cheers
Richard@hawk_2050 Thank you. Yes, all orders are linked to this, new board. I'll ask @hek to change the description at the next page update.

Just received 2 pcs of the board, thanks for quick delivery.
Concerned how to supply them, I don't want to damage them.
What is the voltage range for "BATT" ?
Will power connected to BATT go through the MVP1703 regulator?
I plan to connect BATT to 2 AA batteries (3V) or an separate 3.3 v source on my breadbord.Thanks,

The power from either BATT or EXT goes through the voltage regulator. It only consumes 2uA, so it is fairly efficient and its maximum input voltage is 16V. So that is max for BATT as well as EXT. If you would like to power the board directly, then I would suggest connecting the power source via VCC pins on the lower left connector. There are two of them, the second and third from the left. The maximum input voltage for those pins is 5V, or 3V3, if you are going to use radio module.

Yes, it can. If you are willing to try, I can send you one board and you can test that if you are up for it. Just post the code here, when you make it work. Send me a message and we can discuss it further if you like.

I'm sorry to hear that. Is there something I can do?
The LEDs have solder jumpers next to them. The top one has one to the left, and the bottom one has one to the right. Just pour solder so that both parts of the jumper get connected.
The white connector is Japan Solderless Terminal or JST. I believe it is a XH series with 0.1 inch spacing. The way I connect the wire is I bend the longer ears with pliers over the isolated wire and use solder iron to solder the shorter ears to the stripped wire. -
They are extra. Enjoy.

Nevermind!!
"- with CE and CSN pins connected to digital pins 7 and 8 (you must update MyConfig.h with these values). There is a 4.7uF capacitor connected across Vin and GND of the port"
@shabba You do not need to update MyConfig.h. Just instantiate MySensor with the right parameters (default is 9, 10).
// PIN Radio #define RADIO_CE_PIN 7 // radio chip enable #define RADIO_SS_PIN 8 // CS SS serial select ... MySensor gw(RADIO_CE_PIN, RADIO_SS_PIN); -
Hello,
I'm trying mine... any idea why the gateway doesn't receive it at 20cm distance ?

@ceech I have an issue on a board (lipo+solar) where when I put the programmer it works, when I remove it and leave it on battery it doesn't... battery is 94%, I checked sensors get the energy.. but no more radio it seems, an idea ?
