bretth:
As someone who has tried (and failed) to mount the GE863 on my own board, I would love to see a compact breakout board for this module. It’s an expensive part to be experimenting with.
Could you shed some light on your failure? Im interested to hear what you tried.
As far as an 863 breakout board goes, if you could get the PCB footprint smaller than the GM862 breakout, and make it lighter in weight, i would glady pay the extra cost for this breakout.
