Have you tried using Serial1. instead of Serial.? It’s kind of weird. The Serial. object sends and receives data over the Serial Monitor, and Serial1. will send and receive out of the hardware serial port. Check out this example for some example code.

It’s there for reverse polarity protection.

If you plug a battery in the right way, the body diode will conduct and drive the FET into saturation. But if you plug the battery in backwards, the diode blocks current, so the FET can’t turn on, and the rest of the circuit will be protected.

Nothing else easily accessible as of now (but soldering wire-wrap wire to TQFP pins isn’t too hard, right?!). It’s a tight layout, but we’ll see what else we can fit on there!

JP’s right. It’s definitely designed to be kept in place, there are protruding snaps on opposite edges of the cover that hold it solidly into place.

For the hacker-types, though, it’s do-able (I’ve had some practice this week :), but it is bound to leave some scuffs. You’ll see when you get yours (thanks for backing!), but you can wedge a thin flathead between the screen and enclosure to pop it off.

Unfortunately neither SCK, MISO, or MOSI are accessible when the board is enclosed – just not enough room to break them out.

They will be broken out on the PCB though (we’ll need them to program the ATmega’s in production). On our prototypes they’re broken out to a small 0.1"-pitch, un-populated header. It’s not too too hard to safely remove the cover from the enclosure to get to the PCB, so it’ll definitely possible to access the SPI port.

Oops. Thanks for catching that! Should be all fixed up.

Good question! The max of VCC is set by the max of the on-board regulators, which’d be about 6V (the max of the SP6214 2.8 and 1.8V regulators). The minimum of VCC would be about 3.3V.

Thanks! Awesome find. Let us know how it works out for you.

Thanks for checking out the library! I’m not sure I see what you’re talking about on the scale algorithms. Is it this line you’re looking at? Those should be dividing the correct numbers in, but the shorthand if could be what’s confusing.

The two’s complement is taken care of by the variable typing, the bit pattern of the combined low and high bytes should remain the same. It works, but looks lazy. I’ll see about making it more clear.
