I ensured that this new revision is compatible with the previous version of the MiniBee in terms of footprint and connectivity, but I have made various small improvements on the board based on the feedback from users:</p> <ul> <li>a different on/off switch, which is both mechanically and electronically more sturdy</li> <li>a 300 mA voltage regulator instead of 150 mA</li> <li>pads on the bottom that break out power supply, the on/off switch, and the interrupt pins of the accelerometer</li> <li>an exchange of pin D2 and D7 - so that the interrupt capability of D2 can be used by the user (a firmware update is forthcoming)</li> </ul> <p>Also the design has been moved from the (closed source) Eagle software to the open source <a href="http://kicad-pcb.org/">Kicad</a> software, so that the design of this open source hardware module is now also made with open source software.</p> <p>The boards are currently being manufactured and I hope that new modules can be shipped in March 2017!</p>Sense/Stage
