      @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

              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).
