Remember that these (at least the ones I bought from you) have the wrong pin width for the jackpot. That batch is set up for breadboard width, the Jackpot is slightly different.
I almost suggested having an un-populated set of though holes on one side of the jackpot to allow accommodating this sizing, then thought “nah, too much hassle.” but maybe worthwhile if you want to make a “universal” jackpot carrier.
I was able to bend the sockets on my 2nd jackpot just enough to make it fit- but I had a few choice words to say as I did it
You should, your time is valuable and having this all sorted out is worth a few more dollars at sale time.
Some of Dring’s boards have both headers in place. I think I am okay with bending the headers a bit. I designed the other board the same size as the genuine, so they will fit perfect.
Gotta love ultra-bright SMT LEDs… Like colourful little needles straight into the eyeballs…
I’d note on the schematic what the expected mcd brightness is and what it should change to next time. That’s a nice easy way to keep an errata list for future changes. No issue with dropping the resistor further, LED datasheets normally have a relatively high minimum current (often ~1mA) but they’ll light even with current in the low uA range.
Bottom uarts are close but not touching. Next round I will make ovals with larger spacing.
So far they are fine. Oddly enough they will not broadcast the ssid naked on usb only. plug them into a jackpot USB only SSID pops up. Naked USB start a terminal ssid pops up. On a jackpot with power supply no usb, everything works fine.
I need to test this against the espressiff boards. The clones do not do this.
I thought it was just the flash. So maybe the 8m flash HAS to be flashed for it, not just use the 4M?
The espressifs I have are also 32E but N4. They flash and boot normal, they also work on USB only naked…actually let me double check I know I got both versions when I bought them.
