    If I don’t use the booster and connect both BAT and REG and feed the board with two AA batteries i can use the battery components to measure the voltage of the battery. That is how I use it today.

    Why dont you use the internal library to measure the battery voltage? Im thinking about this and can't find a reason to move the voltage divider since without the booster you could just use the internalref and a library to measure the voltage?

      Good point, I have not thought of that. I will test it it. And will probably save some uA in the process. Thanks,

        @sundberg84 I have now a node running with the BAT link removed, the REG link attached and I have used the Arduino_Vcc library.
        The battery report are consistent with the battery voltage measured with a digital volt meter.
        EDIT: Code below had a bug in it, I have fixed the bug and updated the code. The bug affected the temperature readings
        So, to run the RFM69 board on two AA batteries I have done the following:

        1. Removed regulator and led from Arduino
        2. Burned a new bootloader with a 1.7 volt BOD
        3. Put a link in REG position
        4. Solder radio to board
        5. Solder antenna to board.
        6. Solder BME280 to power and A5, A6
          And that's it.
          Here is my code:
        /**
         * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
         * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
         * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
         * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
         * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

          @mickecarlsson - nice work! Let us know how it turns out :)
          Any pictures of this you can share?

          I did see you put VccMin to 1,2V and this might calculate so the battery will be @ 30% when the BOD hits you. I would put this to 2.0v if you are using a internal 8mhz bootloader. https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/7296/how-to-burn-fuses-so-that-pro-mini-3-3v-would-go-down-to-1-8v-solved/15

            @sundberg84 Hi, I soldered a board holding a humidity and temperature sensor. That is working fine and reporting to may gateway (mqtt). Only thing which I do not get working ok is the battery level measurement. As I already posted in an other topic here.

            Here are some pictures of my board. The bat jumper is connected with a wire on the bottom. And the code I use on it right now.
            I already changed the pro mini for a fresh soldered one but still getting the the same result. Just ones giving the volt and % and after that only giving 0 volt as output.
            tried to include delay(500) in the sketch but that did not help. So how to solve this?

              I don't think it is PCB related, try to make sure it is not a faulty arduino

                I already changed the arduino for a fresh soldered one but that did not alter things.

                  @sundberg84 Hi, I soldered a board holding a humidity and temperature sensor. That is working fine and reporting to may gateway (mqtt). Only thing which I do not get working ok is the battery level measurement. As I already posted in an other topic here.

                  Here are some pictures of my board. The bat jumper is connected with a wire on the bottom. And the code I use on it right now.
                  I already changed the pro mini for a fresh soldered one but still getting the the same result. Just ones giving the volt and % and after that only giving 0 volt as output.
                  tried to include delay(500) in the sketch but that did not help. So how to solve this?

                  // timestamp of the last update doesn't show something like 3 hours in the unlikely case, that
                  // the value didn't change since;
                  // i.e. the sensor would force sending an update every UPDATE_INTERVAL*FORCE_UPDATE_N_READS [ms]

                  @mr_sensor - I can not see any errors on the pictures you posted.
                  Can you measure the voltage on Booster-Vout and also on this pad.

                    I did measure the parts you mentioned. Booster is 3,36 v and the other pad is 0,00 the input strait from the batteries is 2,80 v

                    Also, Just for my info, does it matter how the resistors or capacitors are soldered on the board? My biggest problem is always determine the right resistors value and the right way to solder them (+ -). On the pcb some of them are coded (very handy for me as a beginner) with a G but not all of them?
                    So my worry was that I maybe have soldered the "battery measurer" ones in the wring direction? Could that be the problem here?

                      Resistors can be soldered either way, but if you read 0v on that capacitor pin it mean you have a problem between the battery and the capacitor, so you have to backtrack the connection that is missing

                        I measured the capacitor again and get a 0,10 output.

                          What are the resistor values you used? 0.1v is quite low

                            Maybe I used the wrong capacitor it says 1uf (50v) but now I see it has to be 0,1uf could that be the problem here?

                              Capacitor value does not change the voltage. The resistors does... I would double check that you use the right resistors. For example it's easy to use a resistor marked 1k instead of 1M. With 3.3v you should have around 1v on the capacitor.

                                you are also missing the capacitor on the booster output for better stability

                                  Ok, I assumed it was not needed when using a battery. Which one to use there?

                                    It is needed if you use a booster. Look at project page for details.

                                      @gohan said in πŸ’¬ Easy/Newbie PCB for MySensors:

                                      you are also missing the capacitor on the booster output for better stability

                                      Ok, I assumed it was not needed when using a battery. Which one to use there?

                                      @mr_sensor a advice is to measure the resistance again over the resistors.

                                        @sundberg84 Well I tried that but did not get the measurement straight from the pcb si I decided t solder a new board using the right capacitor this time (0,1uf instead of 1uf) made sure using the right resistors as well and adding a capacitor after the booster. Than with the same mini pro from the other board tested again and wow it is working as intended.

                                        Now in mqtt I can see the percentage as:

                                        95
                                        qos : 0, retain : false, cmd : publish, dup : false, topic : **mygateway1-out/2/255/3/0/0**, messageId : , length : 30, Raw payload : 5753```
                                        
                                        But not the voltage?

                                          @sundberg84 Well I tried that but did not get the measurement straight from the pcb si I decided t solder a new board using the right capacitor this time (0,1uf instead of 1uf) made sure using the right resistors as well and adding a capacitor after the booster. Than with the same mini pro from the other board tested again and wow it is working as intended.

                                          Now in mqtt I can see the percentage as:

                                          95
                                          qos : 0, retain : false, cmd : publish, dup : false, topic : **mygateway1-out/2/255/3/0/0**, messageId : , length : 30, Raw payload : 5753```
                                          
                                          But not the voltage?

                                          @mr_sensor good to hear its working.
                                          It looks like you are only sending the % and not the voltage?
