Thingy 91 - how can I distinguish "old" (nrf9160 B0) from "new" (nrf9160 B1) ones?

[Achim Kraus]

Is there any info, which helps to distinguish between the versions of thingy 91 when ordering?

According https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-hardware/Nordic-Thingy-91 the different versions are equipped with different batteries:

• Rechargeable Li-Po battery with:
• 1400 mAh capacity for Nordic Thingy:91 v1.0.0
• 1350 mAh capacity for Nordic Thingy:91 v1.4.0 and later

According https://nsscprodmedia.blob.core.windows.net/prod/software-and-other-downloads/product-briefs/nordic-thingy-91-pb.pdf

• Rechargeable Li-Po battery with 1440 mAh capacity

So, I feel somehow uncertain, what will be delivered.

Hi,

Kindly check with the distributers which version of the Thingy:91 s being shipped. The newer version is slowly replacing the older ones. Also, if you already have your Thingy:91, you can find the version on the cover (the package) of the Kit or on the board.

Kind Regards,

Swathy

Thanks!

Then it is disappointing, that the development of the modem firmware for hw revision 1 is already discontinued.

I asked mouser per e-mail, but didn't get an answer.

I order one thingy 91 to test, what I will get.

It's still B0A, manufacturer date 2020.23 Thingy version 1.4

That is really disappointing!

The firmware for the old and even currently delivered thingy 91 is discontinued.

And there seems to be no way to ensure to order an new one with the new nRF9160 revision.
