Defective pro mini and the solution

fleinze 5 Jan 2017, 13:16 last edited by
Hi!
I had a pro mini which stopped working with the following symptoms:
- No communication
- not even a flicker on Pin 13 LED
- not responding to programming attempts, not even with ISP.
- RST pin has a voltage of ca. 100mV
The pro mini started working again without me doing anything and then after a few months stopped working again.

After a lot of soldering (replacing most components including the atmega) it turned out that the board had a ca. 100 Ohm short between RST and GND...

So if you experience the above symptoms just measure resistance between RST and GND.

I would really like to get OTA working here as it's freezing outside and I have to go there to update the software in the greenhouse control system. So please, can we have a 'how to' step-by-step guide to OTA? Please? S.
Sensor to detect marijuana vape/smoke

There are air quality monitors that can detect VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and some that claim to pick up marijuana smoke specifically. Devices like the Airthings Wave Plus, uHoo Air Sensor, or Plume Labs Flow could help identify changes in air quality. Another option is checking with industrial-grade smoke detection companies that provide sensors for businesses and schools, and some of them may also have solutions suited for home use. If you want more information on vape-related products, including how they work and their components, check out Geek Bar Pulse X Platinum Edition. Understanding vape devices can help recognize patterns of use or detect scents earlier.

@Tmaster Never assume the original PCB was just a circuit of components, the PCB can incorporate RF shields and antenna radio ground planes...

@wrendral said in "Remote Irrigation with LoRaWAN: LM27313 Challenges and PCB Design": I will go with a Li-Po Battery type: 304048 3.7V 1200mAh Might work, but maybe the internal protection will trigger with the high current peaks. I'd suggest you plan a 0 Ohm, (2512/THT) resistor as R2 and then replace it with a 100Ohm/1Watt if the protection triggers.

I bought the Every because it implied it was backward compatible with the nano. No, it's not, as we found out. Be that as it may, any word on a getting the Every working with mySensors?
