@DrAzzy - Ahh, I didn't even realise they did AA sized lithiums that weren't 3v :) I've just updated it. I've been avoiding posting pictures of the other side because the silkscreen says 'Espruino Mini' :) I can't find a picture right now, but the attached PCB image might actually be more interesting?
Basically there are no components, but there are pads for a JST connector, as well as 0.05' spaced pads for JTAG/NRST so you can use a hardware debugger on it with a bit of soldering.
@DaveNI - I did look at solderless pins (I ordered some, there's a post on it somewhere), but they're actually really hard to push in. So much so that if you're not careful you could easily damage yourself/the boards. You really need a vice.
I could make the holes in the board just a tad bigger so the pins fitted better, but I asked the pin manufacturers and:
They really weren't interested in selling me sensible quantities (not even 100,000)
They said they couldn't recommend using bigger holes, and weren't really willing to make any comment on it.
It sucks really - it would have been perfect but I tried to contact 3 different manufacturers and nobody was really very interested at all.
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.
Thanks!
