💬 OH MySensors RGBW Controller

[LastSamurai]

@pepson I wont do it because my networks is using NRFs but the kicad files are online, you could just get those and only change the radio part.

[pepson]

I dont know software kicad... and can i please you to help me for changing it to radio RFM69HW please ?

[hek]

@pepson, please respect @LastSamurai (who has gracefully shared his hardware design files) when he says he won't change it.

There are resources online on how to learn Kicad,

[tbowmo]

@pepson

There are also converter boards available, that let you use rfm69hw in a nrf24 socket. That could be an option. Search openhardware.io for it..

[pepson]

Ok i find:

very thanks

[pepson]

What software is for file kicad_pcb ?
I download this but i can not open this file by this soft...
http://kicad-pcb.org/download/windows/

Or in which file is write project PCB ?

[LastSamurai]

@pepson The *.kicad_pcb file should be the pcb, the *.sch file the schematics.
You could just use the schematics to remake my project by yourself though and learn kicad on the way. Otherwise the suggested adaptor seems to be the easiest solution.

[pepson]

@LastSamurai

But in soft kicad i dont have option to open this file... kicad can only open *.pro

[pepson]

This PCB will also available to buy it as i can buy PCB to converter NRF to RFM69 ?

I am not sure if I understand your question. I am not selling the pcbs but you can buy it from dirtypcbs and support me. I guess you should be able to use it with the converter though I never did. Be sure to check dimensions first!

[pepson]

But on dirtypcb what type file i must upload to give cost ?

[LastSamurai]

A zip with the gerber files. The version 1.3 that I used is already in their store though: http://dirtypcbs.com/store/designer/details/7078/867/mysensors-rgbw-controller-v1-3

[pepson]

Hmm a littlebig cost same PCB. Can you show me it how it looks in Domoticz ?

[LastSamurai]

@pepson What do you want to know about domoticz? It looks like every other RGB switch in domotizc depending on your used theme, just google it ;)

[pepson]

But is any chance to implement also button as in fibaro rgbw ?

[LastSamurai]

@pepson I don't understand?!

[pepson]

Buttons to controlling leds red gren blue and white.

[LastSamurai]

@pepson Still not sure what you mean. If you want hardware buttons you can add those to the node (I did not). Everything else is part of the controller software which I don't control. You can always use something other than domoticz. But lets not spam this thread with that anymore please :)

Will this board works with an APA102 ledstrip? And, I'm new to custom boards, how can I simply order a couple of this boards?
EDIT: i'm too fast, found this link: http://dirtypcbs.com/store/designer/details/7078/867/mysensors-rgbw-controller-v1-3
so my second question is already be answered!

[LastSamurai]

@niek APA102 are adressable leds, right? My led controller only supports "analog" leds controlled by pwm. At least without some modding.
