    @Abdu-Sahin I was interested in reading your conversation about battery life etc. I hope you will continue the conversation on the forum instead of in private.

    Thanks.

      It is possible to buy only PCB ? Upload PCB to OSH Park, or send PCB in eagle. I do not have Altium Designer... Thx

        @Miroslav-Kadaně I've just uploaded latest gerbers (rfm reset pin was connected to controller, connection of si1132 was fixed, reverse battery polarity protection was added). You can place PCB order at any factory. :wink:

          Maybe a stupid question but how do you connect the FTDI adapter? I only know the ISP pins

            @yury @koresh

            Few months ago, I've ordered some of your nodes, which work perfectly by the way, but I needed something that could speed up testing of any sensors.
            So following our conversation on Github with Yury, I've created a PCB based on your Button size node, with a field for an extension board. The aim is to have a versatile board, and extensions that could handle virtually any sensors, like NodeManager project, but for hardware ;)
            And it's also a first time experiment in the land of PCBs
            0_1506424891385_IMAG0468.jpg

            Apart 2 errors ( maybe more in the future !), it seems to be well routed, as tests been proving, but i still not tried the FOTA function.
            Errors was a badly routed button and it seems that, after the RFM chip is soldered, communication with USBasp gets bad! Is it because SCK and MISO route ( from pin headers to atmega328 ) goes through the RFM chip before atmega ?

            You were mentioning some mods in dualoptiboot in order to flash M25P40, https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/3160/ota-flash-types-for-mysensors/43.
            Would it be possible to share these ?

            And just out of curiosity, how did you manage to solder SI7021 and TSL2561 ?
            By now, it seems like a mystery for me...

              Did you solder R4 (from your schematic https://github.com/getlarge/Cosmonode/blob/master/Cosmonode_sch.pdf)? I can't find it on the boards photo.
              PS
              Will share compiled bootloader and sources soon.

                Sorry, picture's quality is not too good!
                R4 ( 10Kohm) is soldered. I read about that pullup resistor that is needed to sync with atmega SCK. Any other hint on what could cause that ?
                Maybe, that was a mistake when i changed the fuse? but I didn't have problem before with these settings.

                So I'll have to be patient to use M25P40!

                  Can anyone quickly tell me how to do it correctly? I thought it didn't work but I'm unsure.

                    @chbla This board has standard FTDI header (see attached screenshot).

                    0_1506503500534_ftdi.png

                    But it also has all of ISP pins (mosi, miso, sck, rst)

                      @Koresh Might be a dumb question I am planning to work on this board, where do I find the complete part list.

                                  I do not have an electronics background. I wend through the pdf files and order the parts and looks like I got the wrong resistor and capacitor or wrong part. Looks like I have to wait for an expert to comment let me know which resistor/capacitor goes where what part size. I would love to hear from someone ;)

                                    @Cliff-Karlsson The local factory starts assembly today (button size node, insertable switch node, wall socket insertable node and mini relay box). ETA is one-two week (max).
                                    This board is avaliable with two radios - rfm69hw and rfm69cw (with adapter shown below). Price will be the same. Which radio is preferred for you? If you plan to use this board with battery I suggest to use rfm69cw module to extend battery life (it has lower but enouogh power and works down to ~2V).

                                          2 cr2032 winter upgrade - works nice

                                          Keep working at -20 Celsius in a fridge. voltage dropped from 6 Volts to 5V and keeps pretty stable while sending temperature reading every 2 minutes for 2 days now.
