💬 OH MySensors RGBW Controller

@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.

[AWI]

@niek an apa102 strip contains internal logic/ driver circuitry so it can be controlled direct from arduino power pins. No mosfet needed. Take a look at the FastLED library to control these strips.

I am trying to compile this project with the 2.1.1 library, but I keep getting the errors: the 'MyTransportNRF24' does not name a type.
As far as I can see, it seems that the type is nowhere defined in the libraries.

[LastSamurai]

@CoolSaet Yes that is because the sketch you are using is still from MySensors 1.5. I already updated the sketch to Version 2 in November but forgot to push the changes to github.
Here is a newer version that should work with mysensors 2. Only the (non)linear fading is still not working 100%.

PS I also updated the text of the openhardware.io project

[CoolSaet]

@LastSamurai Thank you very much for the update. That seems to have done the trick.

[Sergio Rius]

@LastSamurai The gerber files on Dirty PCBs are the mosfet corrected ones or the wrong? I just ordered some and now I've this doubt.

[CoolSaet]

@Sergio-Rius
I ordered the pcb a few months back on dirty pcbs. That one had the MOSFET pins connected wrong, but it wasn't that difficult to turn them an discribed in the post. I am not sure if a correct one is available.

[Sergio Rius]

@CoolSaet Thankiuu! I'll try not to mess anything.
