MYSXconnector boards?

[Oitzu]

Hello,
i was looking into creating a MYSXconnector daughterboard, and asked myself what are the option for the "Mainboard"?
I looked arround a bit on openhardware.io but couldn't find much about it. Maybe the community knows what are the options?

@Oitzu . start here . http://www.mysensors.org/hardware/mysx
If you need additional info @Anticimex is (one of?) the god-fathers of MysX

@sundberg84 yep. Already read that. But if i would design a daugtherboard i would also need a "Motherboard" to plug it in with MYSX 1.1 or above.
Maybe @Anticimex knows what is available.

You could use my board if you dare

@Anticimex hm.. the 5x5 Board looks like it could fit. Would it be possible to lower the pro mini and the nrf24l01 to fit a daugtherboard above it? Can really see on the renders what is beneath it.

Or use my Newbie board - there are many options @ openhardware.io

@sundberg84 i think this would also fit. Thanks.
Didn't find it on the openhardware.io site.. maybe due to lack of keywords.

@Anticimex and @sundberg84 do i see that right that the orientation of the pin header on both boards is different? So that a daugtherboard, depending on the design, would stand out on one board and would sit above on the other board?

MYSX specification is that daughter boards should face inwards over the motherboard. I have three different boards, you can just pick the one that suits your needs. True, on the 5x5 you need to raise the daughter board. That is required the to the size of the board and the other peripherals on it.

@Anticimex: yes i read that about the inwards facing. But if i look at the MySensorsNode-Board and the Easy-PCB-Board.. the MYSX seems to be different orientated so that it would face on one of the boards outward...... or i'm wrong?
The possibility is high that i'm wrong. XD

All I can say us that I have implemented my board in accordance with the MYSX specification as far as I know. I can't answer for boards other make. If they do or don't follow the spec is up to them (they maybe want their daughter boards to face outwards for various reasons). I specified MYSX so that it define a standard. That is, if anyone want to provide their board as a default for others to expand on, they should follow the spec. In this case, the spec for inwards facing boards is to prevent addition of a daugherboard to invalidate the use of a pre-designed box for that board.

@Anticimex forget it, i wrapped my head arround it again and i'm totally wrong.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused. Just wanted to get it right.
