    @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-KadanÄ› 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.
