    is your sensor working without C5 ?

          I have this serial/usb adapter :
          https://img1.picload.org/image/ldrrddg/deekrobot-isp.png

          Can you tell me how I connect it to my node ? (noob question I guess ... but I don't want to burn my node :( )

            I have found the answer myself with the schematic ;)

            Have you ever tried to power the node with 1 x CR2032 battery ?

            I have tried, but the node doesn't send anything further than 5 meters ...

              I would like to know if your nodes are working all fine. I have the problem that my nodes freeze after a day or sometimes after a week.

                @siod my temperature nodes work good, but my relay one doesn't work :'(

                Do you have any logs when it freezes ?

                    maybe if you keep your node connected to your computer with USB to serial adapter ?

                      mmh, no, that would mean I would have to run my computer for maybe 2 weeks 24/7...

                      I guess it has somehting to do with the sleep function, the device seems to nat wake up after a while for some reason

                        So i got the boards and build them and they work perfect.

                        One thing i couldn't figure out is why do i get relatively high current consumption, when the node is sleeping i get 1.5mA and not 5.8uA as in mentioned in this post.

                        I use 8MHz internal clock and the sleep function and nothing is connected to the node.

                        Can someone help?

                              It took me a while, but I just figured out how to get a bootloader burned onto the chip and I'm ready to make my slim nodes! Which board type in Arduino IDE do I use to program the chip once I'm using the 6 pin header after it's installed in the PCB?

                                @JonnyDev13 Make a new board type by editing "boards.txt". There's an example in the first post.

                                    @รอเรือ Apparently they've moved to a new site. Perhaps you can try this link: http://dev.dirtypcbs.com/store/designer/details/m26872/663/myslim2aabatterynodepcbv2-0panelized

                                    I think you must have a user account and login first. Please report back if it's working or not.

                                          Hey im building my first slim node and i wonder if someone has a sketch for 2 reed switches? i have found the sketch for only 1 reed switch in this thread. Im going to use it for my mailbox. How long do u think it can run on 2x aa batteries?
                                          Do i have to add 2x 10M resistors? or doesnt it work with external resistors then using more then 1 reed switch?
