Sensebender Micro

absolute maximum voltage is 3.6V, above that you'll let the magic smoke out of the following components:
- Si7021
- external flash
- radio module.
Only the atmega328 and atsha204 will survive.

Would this work with a 3,7V Li-Ion 18650 cell? Because I've got a S... load from old laptops

Refering to what @tbowmo said and if you measure your batteries you will find that they will give more than 4V when fully charged I came to the conclusion that this is not a good idea.
However if someone has a good proposal for how these kind of batteries are best used with the Sensebender Micro I would like to know also.

Really nice board!
I think it would be good to have ( ver 2? ) a space for a voltage reg. Perhaps as an option, just put the pads on the pcb and user can add regulator if they need to.
This way larger batteries such as the 18650 cells could be used. -

It's designed to be a simple, minimal, small sensor node.. Operating from 2xAA batteries. So there is no need for voltage regulator onboard, I know this both simpilfies the circuit, but also makes some limitations on the powersource.
What you are asking for, is an Arduino Nano, this has voltage regulator, and the number of IOs that you want :)

So the shipment will start today for the preorders? I'm really excited to receive the new sensors.

I must ask one thing.
Which Radiochannel are there as default in the code in the sensebender Micro??

It would be nice to know how many devices has been preordered.
see the post above your latest? ;) I have just written it ther :)

Well, first batch was 200 units (180 sold). Guess they want a few spare once if they have failures during test.
They are preparing for batch two but the Si7021-A20-GM humidity sensor was a bit hard to source at the moment. Will be solved soon. Not sure why preorders was disabled though, will check.

Is the MySensors API/library set being updated to include the code needed for the on-board thermometer/humidity sensors for the Sensebender Micro, or will we be using another library?
I have not ordered any of these but was considering them for an upcoming project to measure temperature/humidity.

No, it won't be included in the core MySensors library.
