IBoard Ex Arduino ATMega32U4 Xbee W5100 nRF24L01 Ethernet Module For Robot Control

Product Review (submitted on May 22, 2013):

Hi,

I have this board for about 1 month now - very pleased with it. Using this board, along with nRF24l01 wirless as the hub for my whole house temperature monitoring system. The system has been up and running for a few weeks now, I've had a couple issues though.
1. Sleep modes. I'd like to put the unit to sleep while it's waiting to take or receive measurements. Though I seem to have issues coming back out of sleep. Not sure yet if the isues are the USB? or the LAN? I've slept the nRF24l01 with no issue, and I've also slept the same LAN chip, though on a shield. very strange.
2. prefer separate USB - or serial port - easier for setup and debug.
any known issues with sleeping this board or the 32u4 chip?

happy customer,
Brian.
