Okay thank you! I was worried it might end up drawing a little more current than the basic but the usb-c connection and minor added protections is super convenient for me. I plan on cutting off the lipo connecter like the instructions say and using the solder points but I'll keep that other one in mind!
Just wondering i know its random but what did you guys study etc, Im too old now but I would love to have done some kind of qualification in electronics etc but when I was younger I could never find a course or anything that taught this... I once taught a course myself in PC hardware repair and it was so basic, it was find part broken replace whole thing, one of the exam questions was to literally have the kettle cable unplugged and get the student to tell me why the computer wouldnt turn on and if they could figure out why :(
@MarekM60 so your telling me autopilot systems arent just blow up dolls that fly the plane https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CRXmV7OU8AEuJAZ.jpg
I think I should have studied mechanical engineering :) darn computer science degrees
with a degree in software engineering
*work in
@c9679 I studied software engineering. Not application development. So I got a Good Fundation in engineering concepts. Additionally the it folks where originated from the electrical engineers, math and mechanical engineers. Therefore I had to do many studies in broader engineering and mathematics. Further I was always interested in mechanical stuff. Today I have no real specialization. I use the tools and languages as I need them and technical problems of my customers required me to go deeper into building prototypes. The real devices are constructed by the appropriate engineers, often based on my designs or including ideas I had
I have a problem with my LimiTTer, I can connect it with xDrip but I dont receive any values. I tested it with an dead L2 sensor and get this in serial monitor, but for me it looks like everything works. Any idea what is wrong?~~~~~.....

You will find some youtube videos when searching for "xdrip" or "wixel".
I mean, I suppose it's possible? I bought this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GP2WZ2J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_dzrbDbAKMK6CQ and even dug up the datasheet from their website. Pins match up and the default baudrate is the 9600 one. Is it possible the chip worked for a minute before dying or shorting out? It was there at first and I connected to it but now it's gone.
I'll have to figure out Putty when I get a chance, thank you. I'm hesitant to buy from the same person again though. Any suggestions for the US as most of the places I've found are shipping from china and would take quite a while to arrive? Maybe I'm just being impatient....
So here's what I'm getting, it repeats this three times before trying to reset the module several times and it just doesn't appear to be getting any response. I'm sure you know what the code looks like so I'm trying to avoid posting a massive block of text but yeah....

Not sure how to add a picture in gitter so here you go. https://twitter.com/3ThriftyTrinket/status/1141307540875010048?s=09
I know I need to trim the leads on it but it makes it easier to solder
