I have seen this and was wondering if anyone has looked at the sort of new Tiny series-1 uC. up to 32K memory and a lot of nice peripherals. Good power number and low cost. For me the thing that really looks interesting is the built in RTC that runs even in sleep. This combined with Spencer Konde's megaTinyCore makes it a very interested prospect for some battery powered nodes.

Has there been any thought with integrating these cores into the mySensors family?

Thanks,

Has anyone played with this environmental sensor? Looks like the power and performance specs are pretty nice.

Operating range: 10 to 2000 mbar, 0%RH to 100%RH, -40 to 85 °C
High-resolution module: 0.016 mbar, 0.04%RH, 0.01°C
Supply voltage: 1.5 to 3.6 V
Sleep current 0.03ua

Was looking to build some battery backed solar nodes and came across this little chip.

High efficiency buck/boost converter w/ two power sources and in a reasonably friendly DIY package.

Seems like a nice part to build a remote solar node off of.

Any thoughts?

the other antenna to look at is what was done on some of the Motinio from LowPowerLabs with a flat PCB based antenna.

I don't know if there are any opensource designs that people could bring in to use on their own prodcuts

Thanks for the link and the work, I will give this a shot.

Has there been any progress on the RFM69 version? Looking at the repository, it looks like some of the code is there. I did find this RFM69 driver for the Pi that has a LowPowerLabs interface. Would this help in moving forward?

thanks for all the work on this - a great community moving things forward.
