Re: Yet another seller of fakes; noise problem

An auto battery is usually over 14 volts. I would not use this.

Are you in the USA?
No, Europe. Wall AC power is 50Hz.
I would find a wall power supply or use dry cells in a holder.

Re: Yet another seller of fakes; noise problem

update: I changed the caps and the board works stable now. But the noise is still there. I wanted to test it with battery instead of wall ac/dc adapter, but don't have any 9V battery. Is it safe to test it with spare 12V car battery instead? An auto battery is usually over 14 volts. I would not use...

Re: How to tell your board is counterfeit or not?

I just bought a kit from roboticreep on eBay. Is this a trusted seller? I see no ID sticker and it came with no instructions.
