Where can I get a case for my BomberCat? 🪖

You can download the STL files and print them to have your own BomberCat case!

I need a battery 🔋, What are my options?

BomberCat has a battery charger that provides 4.2v to charge a battery and a regulator that manages the battery voltage output to 3.3v which is the operating voltage for the BomberCat, supporting Li-Ion and Li-Po batteries. So a LiPo or LiIon 3.7v battery is what you need.

My BomberCat has WiFi connectivity issues 📶, What can I do?

BomberCat has an ESP32 co-processor with WiFiNINA firmware that allows it to make WiFi connections. This means that you can update WiFiNINA's firmware using the Arduino official library. What you need to do is the following:

Important

This must be performed using Arduino IDE 1.8.XX

• Install the "WiFiNINA (by Arduino)" library from the Libraries Manager in Arduino IDE
• Install the "Arduino Mbed OS Boards" from the Boards Manager in Arduino IDE
• Go to Arduino IDE>File>Examples>WiFiNINA>Tools>Firmware Updater
• Select Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect as the board and select the correct port.
• Upload the Sketch to the board. Note: if there is a problem while uploading the sketch please verify that the board's package and the board selected are the officials from Arduino. You can also try selecting an Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 as the board.

And you are done!

My BomberCat is sending extra/random characters

If you are not using a battery to power the board please make sure the Power Supply Switch is on VCC and not BATT. Having the switch on BATT and powering the board through USB will cause a strange behavior to the board.
