zborgerd 62 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Yeah. I guess I should ask... Does it work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Looking good Rob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 It works (depending on what you mean by work,) I can run a simple program on it, no RF yet. I am dealing with go live issues right now and don't really have the time to test it all the way. All my boards are available for sale, PM me for details. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kenemon 29 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Finally got the boards in from China. These ones worked out nice, and most of the intentions are a success. There are a couple of errors, ie. the LED pin doesn't line up, but otherwise I have a slight chubby. I am still figuring out how to deal with the expansion potential of these, I was even thinking of stackable daisy chained devices which is possible with the layout. Of course, first, I need to reflow and do some more connections. I have two versions..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zeke 693 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Do they work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kenemon 29 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 havent had enough time to get to that part. Never planned on being this busy, too bad it dont pay! I am certain they will function as a breakout at the very least, but I will post when I get them running, soon I hope Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kenemon 29 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Has anyone had any luck getting the modules to communicate with anything? Hey Rob- I was wondering if you could share that hello code you got working with yours? Did you use the LP to program it or as a UART interface? I am getting geared up to get into it, as solar projects lose their charm this time of the year in Chicago...... :mrgreen: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Any reason why there is a cut-out in the center of the board? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kenemon 29 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I was kind of stuck in a thinking rut regarding TI's power pad technology. It was my intent to provide ventilation, or in the case of power pads, freedom to solder the bottom without using a toaster oven. I think it will help cool it down, but not as much as a copper heatsink would... Update: The hole works nice for tape during reflow action bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zborgerd 62 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I finally got a chance to solder one of these modules to RobG's board and the module and board do indeed work. Going to iron out some things with CCSV5 on linux to see if I can get some wireless working on it as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
