I am not sure what is the backdraft for that cap to reset and ground thing.
Just sure you are wearing a protective gears. We are not responsible for any type of injury on here. By the default, the setup and code are fine. Both tested by me and others I have handled
Is this one of the low ESR caps you guys were talking about? If it is Iām gonna give it a go on 5v line and see what happens.
By default there is obviously still some type of issue in the design! Thereās multiple of us that have this power issue, and while I canāt speak for everyone else, Iām using all of the recommended parts on the list. That reset cap is the only thing that seems to have worked and so far as I can tell, itās doing no harm.
you mentioned you killed your receiver earlier, did it happen because of the the cap between reset and GND?
I donāt believe thatās what caused it. I was altering the squared shape of the Nano to better fit inside my enclosure and I think I hit a PCB trace and permanently shorted something else. Got my hands on a multimeter and several of my digital and analog read pins are shorted to ground at ~1.2V when they should be less than 200mV on a proper working Arduino. The microprocessor just starts immediately heating up and burns to the touch. if it turns out it was the cap and my second receiver dies Iāll let you all know
The center noise isnāt my main concern right now. Iām worried about this power issue and the ceramic cap potentially killing another arduino
Still got these parts for sale. PM me. Dont need to be bought as a whole but I am trying to give this away so im doing a large discount if all bought together.
I got:
3 * Arduino Nanos w/o Pins
10 * TP4056 Charging Modules (donāt know if you can use that tho but lmk)
10 * NRF24L01
20 * 5x5mm magnets
1 * SS495A Hall Sensor
2 * OLED Screen (They fit the ones on the remote control)
1 * 3.7V 500 mAh battery (fits in remote control)
Hi, IĀ“m selling a full kit to build the remote. I would offer the following parts: 2 * magnets (5mm) Boost converter Lipo charger 3.7V battery OLED display 2 * Arduino Nano 2 * nRF24L01 (one already soldered) Hall sensor Micro USB Power switch Spring Limit switch all 3D printed Parts
Price: 40ā¬ plus shipping
If anyone is interested just send me a PM 
Well, itās not gonna be much help for those of you trying to assemble your remotes right now, but for those of you interested in the idea, Part 1 of my tutorial is up. It goes over all of the preparation worth youāll need to do before you can start assembling/ordering your parts.
Nice! I saw this earlier today. Iām a bit of an electronics noob myself, so Iāve been putting off building my own after I saw some issues people were having and adding capacitors and whatnot. I figured Iād wait for a tutorial like this before I got started. I have all the other parts though, and I just need to order some more filament for my printer 
I want to print the case but I have to use 3DHubs - should I model this in mm, cm, or in?
mm. I Can print a set for you for $18 shipped by friday
guys, but what about the spreadsheets and electronics for the reciever? and can someone summarize if there still is some problems or if they have been fixed wich is the fix? Iāve read all te post twice but still having serious dubts thanks a lot
For receiver you just need arduino nano and the same 2.4ghz transceiver module as in the remote
For some people, the receiver currently has an issue where the arduino will freeze as soon as you turn it on. When you press the reset button, it fixes itself. Myself and Ervinelin have been attempting to fix the need to press the reset button every time you turn a board on. Iāve had success with a small ceramic capacitor but apparently itās not a consistent fix. Thereās another potential fix that I havenāt tested yet but that I have the components for. That being low ESR electrolytic capacitors. Basically, itās a crap shoot right now. It either just works for you, or youāre fighting with it to initialize properly.
What happened with capacitor fix? Did it fail at some point?
