    I've built nodes using two versions of the Ceech board intended for solar cells - one with the LTC4079 charger, the other with the earlier LTC4067 charger.

    I now want to use one of these as a pulse power sensor without sleep (as per MySensors example sketch), so it needs to be on non-battery power, i.e., from a 5V USB charger. If I remove the battery, which input should I connect the 5V to: the battery input or the solar input?

      @MikeF Definitely the solar input. (Battery max voltage is 4.2V fully charged)

        On the board with the LTC4079 there is a voltage regulator behind the input, so you can use battery connector. On the board with the LTC4067 use the VIN pin on the bottom connector.

          Hello,
          I use a My Sensors 2.0 version of "Multisensor node using @ceech board" but I have this error:

          after that the node doesn't send data to gateway.
          Do you have some ideas to solve the problem?
          thanks
