I've got the feeling this thread is going to be extreme expensive for me.

@AWI Troubleshooting power probolems with the nrf24 is a good example, thx. I think at the beginning it is more a nice to have than a must have. I am always curios for such things. Still I don't want to buy trash. I will read a bit and watch ebay for good offers. Thx for your explanation.

I noticed the many of you have an oscilloscope on their desk. What exactly do you use these for? There seems to be nothing under 200$ and I wonder if it is worth it.

@mfalkvidd I bet the serial gateway. 2.1.1 is bugy. I solved this problem by upgrading to the 2.2 beta from github.

@Yveaux I saw that thing on Amazon. There was a review saying the brackets would melt easily when using hot air. Did you use this with hot air?

@gohan Then you can safely lean back and wait for my review.

@gohan You are right. I just ordered the thing. With the case and the builtin battery it looks like a real tool. The price seems to be a promotion. Normal price is >30$.
You shoult by the way fix the link. Makes it easier for others to order it.

I am looking for a soldering vise. Has anyone tested this one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00196RV9C/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2COJS1QZ6SUVJ&coliid=IQEGMI1GM2R46 ?

I always got the same behavior. The ID should never change after it was first assigned, You need to flash the erase eeprom sketch to get rid of it.

@adamp237

It looks like the node does not get a node ID from the controller. If you do not have a controller which supports assigning node IDs automatically, you have to assign a static ID in the sketch.

@Yveaux

I just bought a new soldering iron for it last year. Had to google for days to find spare parts.
