the board doesn’t have a user LED
just redefine the NPM1300 LEDs.
&npm1300_leds {
nordic,led0-mode = "host";
nordic,led1-mode = "host";
nordic,led2-mode = "host";
};
no on-board 10-pin J-Link connector
AFAIK, the “Recovery & Programming Mini Fixture” will do it.
That was 2-3 years ago also my impression. But in many cases the overall costs of the device makes that relative. And so in fact my first real device two years ago (Mobile-BeeHive-Scale ) was built with the nRF9160 feather.
The newest scale design uses a Thingy:91X. But to be frank, the larger energy consumption with Bluetooth LE enabled (compared to the previous Thingy:91 it takes 60µA more quiescent current) and some irritations with the I2C / QWIIC level shifter, reduces the the runtime from battery.
In the past 6 months I became a fan of “solar charging”, my first experience Conexio Stratus Pro nRF9161 has been very well. And reading Adafruit - Solar Charger Desgin Notes makes me belief, that this is pretty useful for some kinds of devices.
I also equipped some nRF9160 feather devices (some of those Mobile-BeeHive-Scales) with an Adafruit BQ25185 Solar Charger and that works also well (by the way, you need to remove the LED of that module ).
With all that, it’s open for me, which modules goes in which device.
(To be frank, I’m not that sure, if discussing other products in this forum is really welcome, so Jared, just let us know.)
