Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi, I saw these on the Digikey website when I was looking for some other parts.  

https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/groundstudio/RLJDMV-AAA/21080805

I was impressed with the look and the spects, so I ordered a couple to test with.
 
I received the boards yesterday and booted one up with 5.08.   I am very impressed with the quality of the boards.  There is a boot and a Reset button, power LED, LED on GP 25, a Green LED on the battery charging circuit, a SD card adapter, USB-C connector and  8MB External QSPI FLASH memory.  It also lists “Voltage regulator 2x ME6211C33U4AG-N (ADC reference and power supply)”

I don’t know if anyone else has tested these.   I like to idea of having a onboard SD card slot.

The boards are $11.59 CAD or about $8 USD from DigiKey.

Sorry, I wanted to include a picture of the board, but I couldn't find how to do that.

The Data sheet has a pic and circuit diagram. That's a creditable start!

If you want to try it with VGA then you'll have to specify the VGA pins as they clash with the SD card.

That's a linear regulator. Yep, the ADC REF has its own regulator. It might reduce noise a bit but it won't fix the ADC problem.

Click the tree+up_arrow icon to upload (second from the right above the edit text box). If you don't have the image as a jpg on your computer, take a screen shot, edit to clip what you want (e.g., with paint), save as jpg, and then upload.

Hi Mick,

I have not tried the ADC, but I do understand there are some issues with the ADC on the original RPi board. I think if I needed an ADC in a project, I would more likely to use an external part.

Thanks, Don
