Could you add a 5 pieces option? The reason is the danish customs slaps an additional "fee" of ~24eu on imports over 12eu from china.
PCBway let's you choose 5 pieces on their website.
I tried using the gerber files but before I can upload them there is a host of settings which I don't know how to set.
I ordered the 3rd of september (paypal mail says this: tirs. 03. sept. 2019 13:04:13 CEST (UTC+2)), are there any orders around that time?
Has anybody any experience with pcbway? I ordered via the link provided here (7 weeks ago) and only received a message from paypal. I haven't gotten a tracking number and pcbway says they can't help me without an ordernumber (which I don't have).
If you don't mind me asking here: Will the booster disturb the rfm69? The page about battery driven sensors only mentions the NRF24l01+. Should I power the rfm69 straight from the battery? Or will the 0,1uF ceramic capacitor be enough? It seems like using the booster on the radio would be smart since the node will run for longer on the same set of batteries, if I am not mistaken.
I am planning on using a booster, so that's very good to know, thanks!
Hi,
I am looking into building a battery powered door sensor and I am not sure how to measure the battery.
There seem to be two methods, one using two resistors and another one here which doesn't.
It's less work to not use the two resistors, but I was wondering whether there are drawbacks to this method and whether I should use the one with the two resistors?
I hope somebody can shed some light on that 
Thanks!
I can confirm that the code compiles and runs on my rasbperry pi 4 model b. I am using a rfm69 radio and that seems to be working too. I couldn't test it yet though since I haven't wired any rfm69 nodes up yet.
Hi,
I am trying to build a battery driven door sensor using EasyPCB and a RFM69 radio.
The linked documentation says you should use a DC/DC step up booster, but here says the booster creates a lot of noise that disturbs the radio.
Do the newer EasyPCB revisions take this into account but the documentation has not been updated? Or should I attach a step up booster (those, maybe?) and hope for the best?
Thanks!
Hi,
I hope it's ok to open these types of posts here.
I would like to use openHab on an Raspberry Pie 4, I decided on a RFM69HCW (868MHz) transmitter because those seem to have a good range (Admittedly I don't need all that range because I life in a small flat, but it would be nice to be future-proof).
I figured I could build good and cheap (battery driven) sensors with some Arduino Pro Minis, EasyPCBs and other RFM69 transmitters.
Is this a good setup? Or should I change anything?
About attaching the RFM69HCW to the RPi4: This is probably the easiest way to attach the RFm69 to the Pie, right?
If I got the documentation here right then the mysensors library is all I need to run the RFM69 on the Pie, correct?
Thanks for the help!
