Arduino Nano Gateway for Vera - PCB link
-
Ross, i've sent you a ENC28J60 Ethernet device to work with. In looking at it however if not already you should be aware that there are two versions of this thing, the
"narrow" one I sent you (about the width of the Ethernet connector) and a slightly wider one. The pinout is the same just wider so I thought i'd mention that in case you were not aware as you begin playing around with the PCB layout to accommodate the Ethernet adapter. -
It seems like it would be practical to design a general purpose sensor board with a number of population options
- Populate with parts for external power
- Populate with parts for battery power
- I/O connections using screw terminals to allow connection various devices, power and ground. For example a screw terminal strip connected to the unused I/O pins, a ganged Vcc screw strip, a ganged Gnd Screw strip.
The base board could carry a Nano (for simplicity ) and a radio. The terminal strips would allow attachment of a variety of I/O devices, light, temp, humidity, etc.So we'd end up with a single PCB that could serve as Gateway or remote sensor, power options, connection options, etc.

I've received my Serial Gateway PCBs today and tomorrow I'll put one together. Hopefully I'll have better luck with your PCB version than I've had with the scramble-wire one I've been trying to get working for two weeks now

@clippermiami Ross, how is the Ethernet Gateway PCB coming?
@clippermiami Boards arrived...waiting on some sockets and a few other components to arrive so I can assemble it.

@rosskinard good news, looking forward to it

@clippermiami Still waiting...gotta love ePacket Delivery from China. Never can tell when you'll get something.

I'm watching/waiting too ;)
We should do a custom case for it using 3D printing.

@BulldogLowell That would be good. I'll buy one, you volunteering? My 3D printer is in the shop for service, it ran out of 3D :-)

I don't have any 3D either, but I have a good hookup from the last project!
I will just need to get a PCB. When you have it working, I'll buy one (or two) and then I'll do the housing.

@BulldogLowell I'm looking forward to it as well and plan to buy a board when it is available. Right now I'm using Ross's excellent serial gateway but I really want to get it on my LAN instead.

@rosskinard Yes, it arrives when it gets there :-)

Placed an order an no additional shipping costs!
@mark-van-winden: Let me contact you, I like to two of them but if you still want one...
-
$14.65 is €10.92 and you can pay with PayPal. No custom charges because it is below €22.
Seems like (not sure!) panelization would be done tomorrow.
-
$14.95 is about €11, no shipping or custom costs, so also if you just need one board...
Got just an email saying:
Your Nano Gateway V2 copy boards are on the July 31st 2 layer prototype panel.
Once we fill up the panel with other orders it will be sent off to the fabricator.
