I have had this on my someday todo list for over a year now and finally pulled the trigger last week and ordered all the parts from amazon except the URI interface. As a guide I found AllstarSetup.com Starter Node quite easy to follow. It all went together quite easily and showed how much more practice I need on soldering very small components.

Smoke test will occur today (02/27/2019) around 00:30 UTC.

I will try to to post pictures of the build once I get it a little more cleaned up.

[UPDATE: 03/04/2018 around 06:00 UTC] Smoke test never occurred because I had a soldering issue when I originally posted and the 888 was not getting any power. Yesterday attempted again and used my spare radio to start fresh and had same issue. Woke up this morning to look at my connections where the board is soldered to the battery connectors. That was the root of all my issues once I took the time to seat the board and make sure those pins were properly in place everything started working.
