Is there a page with differences of Puck.js vs Puck.js v2?

Not yet - eventually http://www.espruino.com/Puck.js will list them though.

In short, the v2 has:
- Slightly fewer solderable IO pins
- Far more powerful IR transmitter
- Accelerometer
- Gyro
- Calibrated temperature sensor
- 1x high power FET output
- No cuttable link and place to put a diode for powering off LiPo batteries

Cool. My Puck order 20XX (bundled with Bangle) hasn't shipped yet; will I be getting v2...?

Question: Does V2 will have three leds or a neopixel?

I'll go out on a limb and S.W.A.G. it, as in post #2 no cuttable link for LiPo, and knowing that Neopixel is a 5V device, is physically large and would take up a bit of real estate, that the default good ol' standby will be there. Disappointed?

It's still 3 LEDs :)

As well as the voltage, neopixels have awful standby current - it'd drain the battery in no time :)

Perfect, three is exactly what I need :)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
