iTead Studio iBoard MySensors Edition

[Robin Laurén]

Hello folks!

Long story short, i've mailed with Jerry from iTead Studio and he said he could create a MySensors compatible iBoard. It seemed like no biggie, in fact, that it wouldn't cost extra, and that he might even sell it to anyone who asks.

These were his words:

Well, it's quite simple change.
We can provide you Mysensors.org version at the same price if you need in small batch.
I shall consider selling the modified version publicly.

How's that sound to you? I just think i might ask him for a board or four.

Here's the original one: http://imall.iteadstudio.com/development-platform/arduino/arduino-compatible-mainboard/im120410001.html

@Robin-Laurén I would buy one.

[korttoma]

I could have one or two allso.

[marceltrapman]

I might buy four...

[filipq]

I will go for two.

His minimum order size is 50 units. Maybe if the owners of Mysensors would like to organise something, or if I could make it happen on Tindie?

I could do one also

You can use the unmodified iBoard with a few simple changes in the pin definitions in the RF24_config.h and the sketch. Use the full constructor (not the shortcut with less parameters that will use defaults for missing parameteres and neglect your definitions).

Nice work Hugo. Ive just ordered another iboard so will try the software method over my h/w one.... but might it still be good to have a mysensors version which also has the ATSHA204 chip integrated....

Also, does anyone have a tricky way to choose a different "RF24_config.h" file when compiling for an iboard and then for a sensor node?

My unmodified iBoard is working for months now as a gateway without problems. Initially I had some problems with hanging connections. But these problems disappeared after replacing my 1$ power supply with a 3$ one. The iBoard needs a decent power supply.
