      @scalz I will wait. I am curious to see the result on my nodes !

        Yo,

        for those who have not seen my latest rev..apologize, I'm working hard to release all my stuff ;)
        It's still working well btw. this is the revision i will release i think (i have few other nice iteration but that's enough!).

        • Size is 25mmx49mm (same size as a nodemcu)
        • Same specs as before, plus OTA. So optimized for very low power and coincell management. Temp/hum/pir/lux/contact door input
        • Thickness depends on the battery used. That's great as now it's possible to use different kind of battery holder :) CR2032 for the thinnest (8mm without PIR) very thin!, CR2450, or through hole 2xAAA holder
        • you can see a test I want to try: a special antenna i saw on the forum. I will compare it with straight wire antenna, and coiled wire antenna.

        See you soon :)

          another little pic :yum:
          0_1474568971435_20160922_170105.jpg
          left to right: 1) pcb without holder, 2) with cr2032 holder, 3) cr2450, 4) 2xaaa
          different antenna format, i have not compared yet. But the straight one, if i remember well, reached 40-50m range with one brick wall (All are the low power version of rfm69, CW). As you can see the coiled antenna (4) does not take so much place compared to the 1.9€ special ant (3).
          I can cover a nice range of use, yeah :)

            Very good job !

            When will share the schematic ?
            How is responding the PIR ?

            And off course, how is the battery usage ? So many sensors could discharge it faster ...

            David.

              Hi @carlierd

              i'll fix this! There is still my first version i posted there, on the old topic, https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/3600/my-other-pir-multisensor-on-coin-cell

              PIR is repsonding well, depending of the sensitivity i set in sketch. same for batt!
              Many sensors but all low power :) Except reed switch option, of course my power consumption results above are without reed switch. If i need it, i use a 1M res min (increase a few uA).

              see you soon

                This looks good!
                @scalz The PIR parts, are they based on the app note I showed you way back? :)

                Do you feel secure today? No? Start requiring some signatures and feel better tomorrow ;)

                  @anticimex almost! in fact i noticed that's mostly the same schematic if you look at different source. of course it's a PIR ! Regarding the app note you showed me, resistors, capa values changed, and not same ref of comparator (lower power consumption here). so it's very low power :)

                    Would it be possible to buy it pre-assembled soon?

                      Hi.

                      yes i'm preparing files for the fabhouse.
                      As you can see i've done a little update on my description, i'm focusing on my "work in progress" stuff to "released" at openhardware because i would like to release my others boards etc. and have my mind free for software. That will be hard for a pcb addict like me :)
                      I hope we'll get a reasonable price..This will be a project for contributing to Mysensors project ;)

                        Which enclosure do you recommend to go with it?

                          3d printed box for a tailored stuff. I'll also upload .stl and design files. i'm looking at which parts can be "DP" on my BOM, for the pcba..

                            is it possible to get the actual sketch ?

                              Very nice, I order PCBs.
                              I have a question which size for the resonator 8Mhz X1 ?
                              By Advance thanks,

                                hi.
                                i've updated the bom. you can use CSTCE8M00G55-R0.
                                it's optional, you can omit it if you want, and use internal 8mhz

                                    Hi, which tool do you use for programming with your pogo pin avr isp ?

                                    Why didn't use pogo pin for FTDI too ?

                                      you can also use pogopin for ftdi, why not ;)
                                      for avrisp, i use an usbasp.

                                        @scalz Thx but how do you connect your USBASP on the pogo pins ?
                                        I use an usbasp like this http://d1gsvnjtkwr6dd.cloudfront.net/large/AC-PG-USBASP_LRG.jpg but i don't see how to connect him on the pogo pins ;)

                                          nothing fancy..with dupont cable.
                                          of course you won't connect the pogo directly on the usbasp.
                                          make a small adapter. simple and cheap :)
                                          Example with ftdi adapter
