Update: I confirmed that I can reproduce this issue with the latest version (i.e., v1.12.3). I also tried specifying the SSID and PASSWORD using a Network block but got no luck. Can anybody else reproduce this issue?
So I answered 1] myself (yes, you can power an Atom via the grove power pins)
I still would like to know the specs of the different devices, what the minimum current is for operation, with and without bluetooth (obviously using RF would take more power, to transmit)
These seem like basic questions for someone trying to incorporate these products into a design - but I can't find any relevant info :(
OK, I just had the same problem and .... is amazing, but the manufacturer Heltec has their libraries on this pcb wrong or at least obsolete. When you put as PCB a "Wireless stick lite" trying to program, but its version is the latest (v3) with an ESP32S3, it shows an error message. Solution, use the expressif PCB library instead of the Haltec library and select the correct board and the problem will be solved.
I am looking to use an Atom Lite within a project I am building a custom PCB (needs to interact with a LIN controller via serial)
I assume the two rows of pins on an Atom Lite are standard 2.54mm spacing. (I don't have my Atom Lite yet though!)
What is the exact distance between the two rows of female header on the Atom Lite? I can't find it within any of the datasheets?
Thanks for any help.
Here is a 3D mockup of my PCB - obviously the header has to be exactly the correct width.

The pins are indeed normal headers and the spacing of the headers is 7 header pins from one side to the other centre to centre with the equivalent of 5 unused header pins between them. (sorry hard to describe as the battery in my calibers has died).
@teastain is describing the grove connector on the bottom not the back.
@kees No, its to do with the fact that not all browsers are written the same. for best results always use google chrome as its the most upto date with web development standards.
