	On v1.1 boards of an early batch, a diode, which is needed for the on-board bluetooth module to work, is not populated. Its location is shown in the photo below. In principle any diode which fits on the pads can be used, but preferably a Shottky diode is choosen. The "original" type is a [http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/BAS40_1PSXXSB4X_SER.pdf 1PS76SB40]. A possibly simpler solution is to just short circuit the two pads by e.g. soldering a piece of wire across them. However, the communication via the UART port wouldn't work then anymore.		The witespy boards can optionally be purchased with a pre-installed bluetooth module. Please note that this however will be a HC05 module, and not a HC06 module. It comes pre-configfured and works fine, but cannot be configured via the GUI.
