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.@clippermiami Ross, just wondering if the Post Office delivered the Ethernet adapter?
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. -
What's going on with these?
-
So I ordered a batch of these from OSHPark and they arrived a couple weeks ago. I've put one together but I'm running into a bit of a problem. Let me start by saying it's almost certainly me. I'm sure the boards and the design are fine. I'm pretty confident the Nano and the radio are fine too because they were working fine on a breadboard.
So when I plug everything together on the PCB the TX and RX and Power lights on the Nano are on solid and stay that way. The middle LED on the PCB gives a brief flash and that's it, nothing else is happening. If I take the Nano out from the board it seems to boot up normally.
So I've looked at my solder job and while not great I don't see any shorts, but I don't quite understand why the TX and RX lights stay solid when connected. If I connect the Nano to my laptop when plugged into the board it doesn't recognize a COM port.
Now I should admit that I did not put to capacitor for the radio onto the board, I just shorted the holes. I wanted to try it first without the cap. because I hadn't needed it on the breadboard. My brain tells me this shouldn't be causing a problem, but maybe it is?
Any suggestions that anyone would have for me to check would be awesome.
Thanks!
