My sensorboard MYS 1.0beta
-
Only problem is SDA and SCL are located on separate pins on top of the pro mini module and not in the normal row of pins. (A4-A5)
-
SDA and SCL seem to come in two places on APM's - inside the row of pins, and sometimes at the end opposite the serial programming pins. A host PCB could allow either.
-
I have now added SDA/SCL(A4/A5) to MYS 1.1
Is there any more ideas to be added before I send it for production? -
Well done I'm very happy for SDA and SCL added on the board thanks a lot.
Yesterday night I had a deeper look into the PCB and i was thinking that if you add 3 pins with MISO, MOSI and SCK your board will be good also to build ethernet gateway or connect additional SPI device.
-
I have thought about the spi channel but I cant really understand why the ethernet gateway sketch uses different CE/CS pins for the radio.
Why cant the radio use pin 9/10 and the ethernet shield 5/6?
Maybe @hek can shed som light on the matter?http://www.sa2avr.se

Maybe @hek can shed som light on the matter?It was based on an example I received from @a-lurker back in January.
If it is possible for someone to rework the example using the normal configuration for the radio and ethernet (WizNet and ENJ) on the 5/6 please post an updated EthernetGateway (1.4) and pin configuration in a new forum thread.

the CE and CS pin shall be different for each SPI you have connected on SPI bus.
The pins will act as follows
CE (chip enable) = with this pin, LOW or HIGH depending on the manufacturer, the SPI bus is connected like a switch to the device, when the device is not "connected to the bus" the pins will be in "high impedance" state. Sometimes CE is already connected with CS and is not available on device pinout.
CS (chip select) = this pin will enable the communication with the device.
I hope to have clarified the matter.
Some devices (like arduino TFT) have the possibility to have a dedicated SPI bus (MOSI MISO SCK CS RST) on any pin.

I have now added a SPI-header (SCK/MOSI/MISO) and a smd footprint for a 24LCXXX flash memory.

Can you tell me how you wired things up?
I am looking how to do this but I am not sure.
Did you test it already?@marceltrapman
No I have not tested it yet.
I have just followed this exampel http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/arduino-external-eepromhttp://www.sa2avr.se

I now realise that you are using another chip than I am.

Here is the final schematic on version 1.1 mys11.pdf.
I now have all components and boards for 100 kits on order.
-
-
@ServiceXp Yes I am planning to try to sell these boards as a kit for 7$/kit.
It is going to be a diy kit with all components except 24LCxxx eeprom, radio and arduino pro mini. -
@ServiceXp it depends on how soon I get all the components but maybe 4-5 weeks.
