Yup, finally in stock again. I'm still waiting for a JR-shaped openLRS though. The adapter is OK but doesn't provide any mechanical support...

Funny you should mention these. I had bought something form china and looked at the store of the seller and saw something like this. It was less than $2 shipped so I just put it in with my order. I thought that the least I can do with it is use it as a UBEC.

I saw those after I ordered the other ones. We'll have to compare how they work when we get them. I always order more than 1 in case I get a bad one or kill one off trying it out.

I hooked mine up to a 3s lipo and set the output voltage to 5.42v. Hooked up a 2s lipo and the reading was still 5.42v. I have no way to check anything else, as far as I know. :)

If you mean the switches
"per output max. 500mm load,"
I think it should read 500Ma load max.

Regulators, the one I posted says 2A and 3A with heat sink.
I'll never get to 2A with my applications I plan to use them for.

Battery is used only for clock or does it measure temp also while no external power is applied?
And how does it work exactly (how to use it?). I'd like to use it for measuring temp over 24h/7 and later download graph (time/temp) to PC to analyze, what do i need for it?

@qwerty009: No, it's no datalogger. You need additional circuitry for that.
@Justin: it's an ulrraprecise realtime clock module which communicates through I²C

Let me think for a moment,....

You could build an altimeter with them or a air temperature sensor. At a push you just might be able to use them as a vertical airspeed indicator. :)

You could build a multirotor flight controller with those 2 and a couple others :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

EDIT: If I add to those 2 to the accelerometer I got fr4om China by mistake instead of the pressure sensor (gggrrrrr :evil:),
I could build an stabilization board for my glider..
