Using 2 batteries for the radio (can't go above 3.6V), 3 for the Mini and all 4 for the temp sensor (that can't go below 3V).</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40898.322&return_msg=40898.321" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40898.322"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40898_323"></a><div class="message" id="message_40898_323"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time">12 Feb 2015 13:02</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Chris (CHRISSS) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 12 Feb 2015 13:05"></span></span> <span class="message_count">323 of 542</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40898.323">40898.323</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40898.321#a40898_322" target="_self">40898.322</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I don't think I'll manage to do many long solder tracks.
