This is the one with the SHT21 sensor on the little daughter board? The NC pins are pins 3 and 4, and the unconnected pads are the ones toward the through-hole pins. To put it another way, the notch (cut corner) on the die pad on the bottom should point away from the through hole pins, and the sensor opening on the top of the chip should point toward the through hole pins. > Can anyone advise please particularly if they have a photo of one?

I don't have this kit, so I can't take a photo, but if it would help, I can make up a diagram showing the placement of the chip. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
