PCB Boards for MySensors

[hek]

To make it a bit more general I was thinking of adding a tag field. where you can tag it with whatever you want... Like MYSX.

[Anticimex]

Ok, just as long as it is obvious for users what/how things should be tagged, so that searches are reliable. I've got bad experience from free tagging. Risk of all kinds of variants, misspellings and misinterpretation.

Combined with typeahead we can give a list of propositions. Just need a list of tags to add to start with... Later I will probably extract the full typeahead-list from the database using tag in other projects.

So feel free to propose pre configured tags..
AVR, SAMD, Raspberry,...MYSX,...

[GertSanders]

Regarding MYSX tags, I would provide tags for following versions as a minimum:

No_MYSX
MYSX1.0
MYSX1.1
MYSX1.2
MYSX1.3
MYSX1.4
MYSX1.5

The designers could then tag with the version they have implemented in their hardware

If the MYSX connector specification becomes (or is) the official MySensors connector spec, then I think a dedicated field where one chooses the version supported would make more sense than a free tag field.

I agree with @GertSanders

@Cory , do you have a pic of the final result ?

Hi everyone..i am new to this forum. As per my experience it's progressing.. Social login finalized and design of most parts. Hope to get some more time during x-mas vaccation to get gerber to svg functionality in place together with github integration. I would like to have some kind of "donate-to-hardware-creator" functionality.

@NariParish - there is a "donate-to-hardware-creator".
Go over to our open hardware site www.openhardware.io and check that one out.

Is there a 'local' source of PCBs for MySensors (i.e., UK / Europe)?

I've just (14 November) received 3 of @sundberg84's Low Power Node PTH v2 (atmega328p and NRF24L01+) boards from OSH Park in the US, which I ordered on 24 October - panelisation and fabrication was actually quick, and they were finished and posted on 2 November. Elapsed time was 3 weeks, but I understand it can be up to twice this for boards from China (e.g., dirtypcb's).

It would be good if there was a more local source, with shorter elapsed times.

@MikeF Dirtypcbs rarely takes more than 3-4 weeks for me too (in germany), but you are right, a local source would be great. There are several producers here too, but for everyone I know prices are at least 5 times what the chinese take.
If you (or someone else) finds a european service that produces prototypes (1-3 boards) for less than 15€ per piece please share it! Could come in very handy when developing new boards.

I would like to have some kind of "donate-to-hardware-creator" functionality... anyone here who knows paypal apis and in-and-out? (maybe i'll just contact them directly for the options available).
