Can you isolate LV from ELV with stacked boards

sensornewbie last edited by

Hi,
I want to create an SELV circuit but am wondering if I can use a stacked PCB to create the required isolation and meet IEC/EN safety standards. Any thoughts?

Have the same doubt.

Did you found the solution yet? If yes, can you please help me out as well?

Regards.

@marceltrapman, using a smart and nice etching process is never something people have an issue with. The point people are trying to make on this thread is that if you can achieve the same results by using a small tank and an inexpensive chemical, why go for an expensive process. There are so many different etching processes available that you can choose from which are cheap enough to be used by anyone. Etching does impact the quality of a PCB but as long as you’re not making expensive antenna PCBs, usual process work fine. electronics assembly

@gohan What do you mean? The rPi or the Esp? For the rPi I first used a NRF24 pa lna getting power from the 5v line with a voltage regulator (ams1117 based) Then I thought could be problems with this radio or supply and ditched it for a normal NRF24. With identical behavior. Sometimes works for a week or a couple of them or I have to restart the whole Pi several times a day only for being able to go out of home. When I first implemented the rPiGw worked for weeks. Then the problem appeared. then vanished and was working for months until some point that became worse. I even thought that my wifi hotspot could be dying and changed it for a unify-pro (nice gadget) I live in a house far from others, so wifi interference seems not an issue. I run the Pi from a readonly sd for boot partition and then uses an usb drive for the system+controller. logs on tmpfs. I was fastly implementing it in my home, but as this problems arose, I only have the power monitor node, the garaje door node and a doorbell that is offline because suspiciously started to eat batteries two months ago. I'm in Domoticz beta. For the esp gw it's just a nodemcu board on a breadboard paired to a normal nrf24. Edit: Ups! mysensors versions are all 2.2.0. The arduinos are all 3v3 8mhz boards and one 5v (power)

Are you still able to use the same analog phone plugged into the back of your modem? If so then it has to still use the same protocol, and I don't understand why the analog beacon wouldn't still work. It would just have to be on that same wire, not on the internet side of the modem. The modem is doing all of the translation in that case. Or am I missing something? Did you have to get a new phone to use the new service?

@Tmaster I think it writes better code than a lot of code I've seen, and the documentation is a lot better. The latter, of course, is because most coders don't document. some key elements: good statement of work -- Purpose of the Code is key (did you write that? Good job!). This will guide the AI to write what you want. descriptive variables good documentation code is independent of reading sensors up-to-down/down-to-up I spent a couple hours analyzing, researching and writing and re-writing this and all I can say is that the AI didn't catch is, as far as I can see, if your sensors are too far apart or your magnet is too weak, you could get false readings. You, being the author of AI directive, are responsible for for the code. The AI is just a tool. I started my coding with assembly language, though at that time we still had to enter the binary on some machines (set 16 switches, then press commit). ForTran and COBOL were the first real high level languages and subsequent languages, pascal, c, java, etc. were improvements. AI is a quantum step. It's still coding, but you have to learn how to talk to the AI to get what you want. Good project! Let us know how it turns out and if you had to tweak the code. -OSD

MySensors is an EXCELLENT project. It allows for complete control over the various sensors. It's extremely simple. Its drawback is that it's open source, so it's unfunded and development is slow, but I don't think there are any better projects than this at the moment.
