Iboard - Cheap Single board Ethernet Arduino with Radio
-
Just another thank you for the great instructions. Here is a better pic of the tracks to cut http://i.imgur.com/h87eOIy.jpg although i think i went overboard and hacked it a bit to much.
Here is one of the completed gateway http://i.imgur.com/SwcP7yN.jpg
The only problem i had was i had to also un-comment out the following line (To enable it) and force the inclusion PIN number to something other than 3.
// Uncomment this constructor if you have leds and include button attached to your gateway
MyGateway gw(RADIO_CE_PIN, RADIO_SPI_SS_PIN, INCLUSION_MODE_TIME, INCLUSION_MODE_PIN, RADIO_RX_LED_PIN, RADIO_TX_LED_PIN, RADIO_ERROR_LED_PIN);I would have thought not having it would disable the manual inclusion button, but without doing this, every time there was radio traffic the inclusion mode would start !
Now i just need to find a nice case.

Yep - looks like you got em!
Do let me know if you do find a nice case... i need one too.
I'm powering mine from a 5v plantronics 500ma supply... been rock solid for month or so now.

I have built a gateway following the instructions above. It works well, and the mod was quite simple.
I have had a first cut at printing a custom case to match, unfortunately I had one of the holes in the wrong place. I will correct this over the next few days. When I get it right, I can post the design if people are interested.

I like it.. Just need some LED; Power and Inclusion Switch holes... :-)
-
..but i dont have an old mouse case? ;-)

Who needs a fancy printed case when you have some an old mouse case, a dremel and some glue :)
-
I haven't really tested the range explicitly, and really the case is hopefully somewhat temporary. That said, the unit is in the basement and I have a temp sensor in the attic which works fine, and another sensor on the main floor at the other end of the house which also works fine.
-
I have noticed that my ENC based ethernet gateway seems to lock up periodically (doesn't respond to ping or TCP on port 5003). I thought perhaps this case was overheating it, but now that doesn't seem to be the case. I'll be switching to one of the iBoard whenever it arrives, but had intended on using the ENC for another purpose, but perhaps not now.

@ServiceXp Just added a new version of the box with LEDs and include button.

I know it's a bit off topic but does anyone have a good idea of a general purpose printer? It seems like the 3D forums are full of people that love their own purchase/decision but have little constructive feedback.
@jtm312 - What do you use for small projects like this? Do you like it?

@tbully I'm using a Flashforge Creator. It's a Chinise clone of the original Makerbot GPL version. I have made a few minor mods to it and upgraded the firmware to the latest Sailfish version. It came mostly assembled, so I was up and running quickly. There are better printers on the market, but you get a lot for your money. Overall I have been happy with the investment, and it has been great to learn with.
