Can you a little clarify what do you mean? Schamatic of rfm69 module?

I mean a link to where the module can be bought, and a link to some datasheet or similar, where the specification for the module footprint is so that it can be possible to make footprint in open source cad tools like kicad. Your design files looks like Altium.
Of course you are welcome to contribute a footprint to the MySensors kicad repositories on github :)

Thanks! Clear now :) I will try convert all sourses to open formats and add more information to projects (documentation, design notes and components information) asap.

@Koresh
hihihi, me too, was for fun, i knew it was about the node! like i said, i like your boards but i do mine. i was saying this because i've improved my previous multisensors design, for smaller and cheaper. but i've quitted 8bits 328 serie..for my others projects too.

Keep the good work.

What did you switch to?

Do not worry, I will share software source code

Thank you but I was just asking for the name of the design software to have a closer look at the board. Altium it seems so I can't have a look at your routing :(
Was curious to see the details closer as you seem to squeeze 2 routes through the corner of the atmega, I can't do that with my current settings.

This board was routed according 5mil width/5mil clearance rules.

[GertSanders]

Always impressed by the quality of your designs @koresh !

[Omemanti]

Hey, looks great!

is it possible tot get some Eagle files?

Thnx!

[Cliff Karlsson]

was it possible to buy this board assembled from you?

[Koresh]

@Cliff-Karlsson The local factory starts assembly today (button size node, insertable switch node, wall socket insertable node and mini relay box). ETA is one-two week (max).
This board is avaliable with two radios - rfm69hw and rfm69cw (with adapter shown below). Price will be the same. Which radio is preferred for you? If you plan to use this board with battery I suggest to use rfm69cw module to extend battery life (it has lower but enouogh power and works down to ~2V).

rfm69cw

yes rfm69cw is fine, as I understand it will still be compatible with rfm69(H)W gateway?. Also are you using 868 MHz band or any other?

I don't remember where I read the prices, could you give them again? And can you buy the atmega/rfm -board separate from the sensorboard or do I have to buy them as a set?

[gohan]

Will it be available preassembled? :)

[Koresh]

@gohan Yes. Of course :smile:

[Koresh]

Unfortunately I can't open my ebay shop right now. While I'm trying to open it, you can buy this board here: https://www.ebid.net/eu/for-sale/arduino-ide-compatible-coincell-powered-controller-rfm69cw-hcw-433-mhz-radio-156694991.htm

[gohan]

Best of luck for your shop :+1:

[bjornhallberg]

Great! One question though, is everything already soldered and if so is there an option to for 868MHz?

[gohan]

@bjornhallberg if you want you can just order pcb and build your own node

[bjornhallberg]

@gohan Yeah I could but I'm just too lazy :-) There are a lot of components to source from AliExpress before anyone can build these boards. It would take months even if there aren't any errors in the BOM or lost packages from China.

[gohan]

@bjornhallberg since @Koresh is still in the early production stage, I think he can manage to make a few with a different radio, given of course he has the 866 mhz modules available 😁

[bjornhallberg]

@gohan Thankfully I do have some CW 868 radios (~5 left) available that I bought ahead of time. I think everyone can solder the radio to the board by hand and so I personally would prefer that @Koresh would consider selling the parts separately.
