Minimal design thoughts

[tlund]

I would be interested in 5 units. I lean towards including ATSHA204 and smt assembled, but I would buy without and unassembled.

@tlund

So you would just buy the PCB, and source all components yourself?

[tlund]

@tbowmo
Sorry I was a bit unclear. I would like to buy all components as a package from you/mysensors. Preferably assembled, but I would also accept if you sell it unassembled (pcb+components). I would rather not have to source the components myself :)

Btw, have you measured the actual power consumption? Sleep vs temp/hum measurement?

[tbowmo]

@tlund

I haven't measured supply current, as I don't have the equipment to do that. I am looking at getting the uCurrent gold from eevblog, but it's expensive to import it to Denmark.

It will probably not be offered as a kit. Too much work from my/our part :-)

uCurrent gold

I can probably test it using mine. Any plans going to Skåne soon ;)

Hello, I'd be in for at least 5 assembled boards.

Soo .. this like a breadmix ? :) All we have to add is the sensors ?

[tbowmo]

@hek

You already got an ucurrent? I had planned to import an extra one from Australia for you :) (thought that we might be able to save some $ if we ordered 4-5 units).

But as so many other things i got away from it again :(

Unfortunately I only come to Copenhagen these days, visiting a client.

@JimmyH

There is a temperature / humidity sensor on it already. But more can be added :)

Ok, pushed a product page to the main site just now. Hope the page is selling enough. ;)

"ATSHA204A sot23 footprint on board"

So does that mean this run will not have the ATSHA204A populated?

[tbowmo]

@ServiceXp

We haven't started production yet, I'm still waiting for the latest prototype pcb to arrive from China, before I can make the (hopefully) last prototype before "mass production". Which also means I have to find the atsha204 somewhere, so I can test it.

And yes I know mouser has it, but I don't need that much more from them, so will have to pay a big handling/shipping fee to them

[hek]

@Anticimex , did you have any spare atsha204 left?

[bjornhallberg]

@tbowmo Have you looked on AliExpress. A quick search seems to suggest that could be a viable alternative. Try some different search combinations though ... their search engine sucks. "ATSHA204" wont find "ATSHA204A" for instance when I try.

Wont be quick though, and the Chinese New Year is coming up ...

[Anticimex]

I can part with a SOT23 ATSHA204A if necessary. They can also be sampled from Atmel in small quantities for free (that's what I did).

sampled

Do you remember the deliver time on samples?

[Anticimex]

@hek It took three days from order confirmation to shipment notification. I don't recall the transit times but it went out with DHL WW Express so it should be pretty fast. Say 5-10 working days tops.

hmm what is the sample quantity limit?

[Anticimex]

@tbowmo I don't remember. But I got at least three (don't think I requested more since at the time I was not sure it would meet my personal demands, nor if the MySensors community would accept it). Since it is now kind of "official" I guess it has :)

ok, I'll try and get some samples then.

Has there been any work done to support easy initialization of the keys on new devices?
