I know you can change the 5v Vpack to 3.3v using a resistor swap, but its a 0602 !
Even for those people who can manage to do the swap, having the right resistor at hand is unlikely and buying 1000 of them is hardly good value.
I need a good 3.3v source for my projects, something that I can use with a wide range of inputs. Because I use LiPo and AA mostly I need something that doesnt waste loads of power like traditional linear regulators.
Its great that some boards have a 3.3reg built in, but I need more power than those like the mini-bully or the usb/232 boards give.
Yes buying them in quantities is a good value because resistors are something you need all the time and if you didn’t already, time to switch to SMD and get yourself an assortment of 0603 or 0805 resistors.
It is only 5% tolorance, so I suppose I could go through testing the actual reisitance on every one of the 100 included to find one that measures 182k…
