Works with teensy 3.2 too

For LiPo battery charger add-on for Teensy 3.1

I've test it on my teensy 3.2 and it works very well ! in first time i've try on a 3.1 and the i've decided to change the 3.1 for a 3.2 and it's ok !

This works great. It does what I expect it to do.

For SPI Flash Memory Add-ons for Teensy 3.X

I have purchased three and have them wired to Teensy 3.1. They sit very close to the Teensy 3.1 keeping overall profile low. I mount them on the bottom of the Teensy 3.1.

Kris's software works for original testing. My software allows me to perform data acquisition and to dump the data on request.

thanks Kris. Great job.

Excellent service and product

For BNO-055 9-axis motion sensor with hardware fusion

I have ordered this breakout board from Germany. It is functional and very well documented. The code available on Github is also of great help. Keep up the good work!

Worth every penny!

For LSM9DS1+MS5611 breakout board

I am a big fan of Teensy boards...
I bought this board for use in a arduino-pro/nano -- and boy is it small!
Maker is very responsive to email & no doubt the board will perform well.

Great Product!

For BNO-055 9-axis motion sensor with hardware fusion

Ridiculously small. Very useful for easy orientation tracking and requires very little program space or processor cycles. I used it to integrate into a boat tracking and efficiency optimisation system that was running very low on available program space with an arduino, worked beautifully. Thanks for making this breakout and the very comprehensive example code Kris!

So freaking small!

For MPU9250 Teensy 3.X add-on shields

A silkscreened reference dot on gnd would be helpful. It's a sad day when you realize you've mounted it shifted right! :(

The micro is a great board. Pesky+Teensy are a nice combination.

Brilliant

For BNO-055 9-axis motion sensor with hardware fusion

Thanks for the great product Kris. From the States to Denmark in just 6 days with normal international postage!

I will update this review on the actual product when I get a chance to play with it.

Thanks!

All the products from Pesky are great

For LSM9DS0 Teensy 3.X Micro Shield

Super small device. Excellent shipping (received in less than 48hrs). Consistently exceeds expectations in every regard.

nrf24l01+'s for two teensy boards

For nRF24L01+ add-on for Teensy 3.1

I needed a lightweight, small wireless solution for two Teensy boards to communicate with each other, and this fit the bill perfectly. I've tried several others, such as xbee and ASK, and other nRF24L01+'s, each with their own headaches. Couldn't be happier with these modules.

Thanks for the kind words! I've found these little boards very useful and I am always gratified when others see the same value.

Awesome product! Even more awesome service!

For MPU9250 Teensy 3.X add-on shields

Kris promptly answered all my questions to help me decide which board is best for my application. My order arrived within a few days without a hitch. I ran into some issues testing out the example code (my fault, the code is great), and Kris debugged the issue for me right away. The product worked even better than advertised. Thank you Kris!

works as described!

For MPU9250 Teensy 3.X add-on shields

The seller responded quickly to my questions and was generally very helpful. Will buy his products again.

Great product

For LSM9DS0 Teensy 3.X Micro Shield

Does exactly what I want, and does it well.

Connor | Jan. 20, 2015

Works well

For LiPo battery charger add-on for Teensy 3.1

Well designed and fits together nicely into my project.

blackoutlight

For Blackout Light

These are great, simple no solder snap on a 9volt battery and wait for hurricane.

Gerald | Jan. 15, 2015

it's great, works as it should

For LiPo battery charger add-on for Teensy 3.1

Simple plug onto the Teensy and use a Lipo cell as simple as possible. Shipping to Germany worked fine.
Single drawback: the on/off switch is too fragile. It is still working but usage needs elevated concentration.

BNO-055: Absolutely Fantastic!!!!

For BNO-055 9-axis motion sensor with hardware fusion

I quote an old comment because it's really true!

"I don't usually have the time to write feed back however the help I received from Chris Winer (Pesky Products) was absolutely fantastic so a well deserved thank you Chris!! The boards arrived on time, in perfect condition and functioned exactly as advertised. To date the little board is the most fun I've had with embedded Linux. I highly recommend anything supported by Chris and Pesky Products."

Thanks Kris

Does what it says. Just as it says.

For LiPo battery charger add-on for Teensy 3.1

First off, praise: It's great. This little circuit is pretty legit. Good job. I'm all about the Teensy right now and your little lipo pack is what teensy projects need. Rock on.

So here's my 2 cents for improvements there's really only 2 things and they seem simple but notable. I was really close to giving you 4 stars but aw hell 5 the good here is too good.

But the 4 stars was going to be because the lipo pins were too big to fit in the plug holes. I jimmy rigged something smaller and sloppily soldered it to the pins and things are looking pretty good. But next time it would be nice if I didn't have to do that.

Also, I really agree with your observations on the switch, but I don't think it's necessary to bother improving the switch itself. I think the average guy who buys this and solders it on will be careful when he uses the switch, and for the space requirements and such a itty bitty switch I'm impressed the switch is as good as it is tbh. But if your trying to make something that has any kind of on/off switch, for use by the average joe it's a bit limiting and tough to use the small switch for that person, and looking at it it looks pretty risky to try to break into to solder a switch externally.

So here's a simple solution: run a lead from each pole of the switch to 2 tiny pads someone can solder wires to, to run to whatever switch, wherever. Looking at the lipo charger I feel the "Pesky Prods v01" area would allow this.

Take it or leave it. But thank you for making this. I'm thankful for your headaches in making this because they save my headaches. Thanks again!

Thanks for the kind words Kabe!

I'm hostage to the fab (OSH Park mostly) and the natural variation that comes from an economical production; I did notice that sometimes the JST holes are rather small. In those cases, I just used some fine point tweezers to slightly enlarge the holes and that works well. I guess I should check them all before I send them out to save people the trouble...

The switch is a tough one. I like the ultra thin form factor of the current version and I pay extra attention to making sure there is plenty of solder holding the switch to the five solder pads. I think the trouble I had early on with the switch coming off with rough (or careless) handling was due to not having enough solder on these points. Still, I recognize it is not the most convenient on/off device. I will consider your suggestion for the next version. I have already started adding solder jumpers on almost all of my designs to allow more functionality where appropriate. I don't see why the same can't be done here.

Thanks again for the detailed review!

Very well-made board with informative on-line documentation

For BNO-055 9-axis motion sensor with hardware fusion

Have not tested board yet in any "real world" applications, so cannnot say anything about the new BNO-055 functionality.

Tarek | Dec. 13, 2014

hard to find anywhere else

For Bubble Display Frontpack

Nice novelty item

Tarek | Dec. 13, 2014

simple and useful

For Blackout Light

Works better then described.

Just the thing for powering a Teensy 3.x from a LiPo cell

For LiPo battery charger add-on for Teensy 3.1

This is a good (and the only as far as I know) board for powering a Teensy 3.1 from a LiPo cell and charging the cell.

Anthony | Oct. 9, 2014

Definitely recommended

For MPU9250 Teensy 3.X add-on shields

Excellent product quality; very fast turnaround with economical shipping; very complete software for sensor interface and application with thorough documentation; excellent, knowledgeable follow-up - no customer issue is evidently too small. Definitely exceeded my expectations based on similar products, even from OEMs; I am ahead of schedule ! This review is for the MPU9250 Mini Shield; will also report on the LSM9DS0 Mini Shield when I assemble and test it.
