HW design using gEDA

Anticimex Contest Winner 25 Sept 2014, 10:11 last edited by Anticimex 25 Sept 2014, 10:12

I intend to do my HW designs using gEDA. I have created a git to keep track on my symbols and footprints. It is empty for the moment, but I will push my stuff as soon as I have finished a new symbol/footprint. Currently in the pipe is a symbol for the Arduino Nano. If new symbols are needed in my designs I will add them to the repo.
Feel free to use, and/or contribute to, this container. In case you want me to pull updates, please keep in mind that I am following the gEDA Common Symbol Naming Conventions.

GitHub: gEDAlib

I will publish gits for my schematics/PCBs/sketches as well later on.

RFduino uses BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). While this is also 2.4GHz it's not compatible with nRF24L01 in terms of protocol.

@tsunami My setup is max 50m radius and 433MHz standard power RFM69s so a small 1/4 wave whip works reliably even from a below ground pump chamber 10m away. Your 915MHz at 200m SHOULD work on 1/4 wave if obstacle free line of sight, but you could try a 2.4GHz Wifi router at one location and use a mobile at the other to test if you can see the router. I can see at least 3 neighbouring routers identified on my mobile from over 40m away through masonry, 10 on the laptop, so it's a simple enough test. If you can see the router on either, 915MHz should be rock solid with a simple whip and no need of directional antenna.

Did you guys managed to have it working with latest mysensors version?

FYI, @Bandra hasn't been "online" for over a year.

@JohanH - thanks for your reply! I also hope and think people who build commercial products have knowledge of this But as a hobbyist, there are two ways to go - either you dont have to care or go bare minimum, if something happens its your own fault, or you can try to make is as safe as possible. My idea was never to make this thread a information source for a commercial product. I wanted to try to make my own products as safe as possible since I have children around. With that in mind, i want to be on the safe side of things so some things i use from here might be exaggerated. But my PCB (HLK-PM01 breakout) is working great, and I feel safe. I have had it outdoors (under roof covered in IP5* box, -20 to +30 aprox) and its been working for me for a couple of years now. Better than I had before, when i just stripped an old fake samsung charger. /Andreas

@Ozal I had similar board which **pcbbasket made it for me, the cost was a bit higher, but they made exactly as I wanted. So I recommend them www.pcbbasket.com **

No, I didn't seriously consider it. I have a minimal programming circuit with ZIF-sockets to program DIPs, but those are easily removed from a circuit (assuming they are put into sockets and not soldered) in case they need to be reproprammed . Doing this with a TQFP seems like a one-way road, so I think a way for in-circuit programming should be provided regardless. I mean, I didn't have to reprogram my first revision nodes so far, but I might want to add signing support later on or upgrade to MySensors 2.4 or 3.0 for some reason, so it should definitely be possible, but I'm not too worried, if the programming process is a little cumbersome, if the SOICbite experiment doesn't work out.
