SMD is easier with solder paste and hot air solder

Hey @yury , thanks for the reply!
The pictures were very helpful

Does this board come flashed with the alternate bootloader that supports OTA updates?

Hello friends,

Reading the instructions for building a RaspberryPi Gateway using RFM69, it states that one should use the development branch and not master, since the Pi is using a different version of the driver.

Anyone knows when this will be merged to master branch?

Also, since this forces all nodes to use development branch as well to be able to communicate with the gateway, assuming I use the development branch now and it is later on merged into master, is there an easy way to upgrade nodes remotely to the new code?

I am planning to use Wall Switch Insertable Node, and Mini Relay Mode - Both support OTA updates, am I correct to assume this will allow upgrading without taking the nodes out of where they are located?

Thanks!
Sefi

@Sefi-Ninio for that case it could be an idea to have a second pcb design with nrf24 smd footprint, it should be too difficult. Otherwise it will be a good chance to start using the rfm69, that is not a bad idea

Yes, rmf69 is great. Though most gateway instructions are for the nrf, and me being the newbie I am, I need clear instructions

@Koresh ,@yury
Will you also make a nrf version like you did with the wall insertable switch node?

Thanks,
Sefi

Or maybe we should use the nrf2rfm69 board you are creating?

Hello @yury and @Koresh ,

I am not sure how to connect the switch in the wall to this board.
My house has Gewiss switches, but J1-J4 expects 2 wires - so I am not sure how they connect... Can you help?

Thanks!

This looks great! Thanks a lot @dbemowsk !

Hi @hek ,

thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, this will not work for this application...

Will that work as a weight sensor?
Couldn't understand from the description nor could I find the data sheet...

@Yveaux Perfect, thanks!
