Damn. There's a million of those modules out there and they all seem based on a single design which doesn't provide access to the enable pin!Also, what the hell is with being able to buy 50 of these things for less than $2 each, but the chip all by itself would cost me $3.30 from Digikey at qty 250? Even if I bought TEN THOUSAND OF THEM, it would still be more than the fully assembled board!
I don't know how they do it. And many offer free shipment, and I get stuff here to the west coast in 10 days usually. I have been buying modules like that and other raw components from Asian sellers on E-bay for around 4 years now. Never had a no show, or not as advertised in all that time in maybe 40-50 purchases. Just twice the wrong item was sent, but when notified they sent the correct item and told me to keep the originally sent item. You will notice that most have very good if not perfect feedback rankings. So I don't know how they do it, maybe they obtain their chips from other manufactures over bought stock?
