Hi

I am getting the components together to build a Pilot Aware.  I am not exactly sure which ARF Shield - Digole 5v-3.3v regulator board to get given the warnings posted on this site and the forum.  I have bought this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121444120528?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT 

Can someone confirm its the correct one?  if not can someone send me a link to the correct one?!

Thanks

Tim

Sorry, but I don't believe it is the right one.

It doesn't have the reg soldered on in the picture, it says "The supply voltage and interface should same with your xbee", and the killer, it says "The interface voltage should same with xbee, if you need convert 5.0v interface to 3.3v xbee, use our 3.3 to 5.0v xbee adapter"

You need the 3.3v version.

Thanks
Kev

TangoIndiaMike:
Thanks for the reply.  Can anyone post a link n where to get one?

Kevin W:
There is a link on the page you posted in your first post :)

"The interface voltage should same with xbee, if you need convert 5.0v interface to 3.3v xbee, use our 3.3 to 5.0v xbee adapter"

Even though that is the right version, please do still check the JMP connection is not soldered as per the faulty batch.


Or buy a PowerPod when you buy your ARF and use that:
