(maybe i'll just contact them directly for the options available).

There are several producers here too, but for everyone I know prices are at least 5 times what the chinese take.
If you (or someone else) finds a european service that produces prototypes (1-3 boards) for less than 15€ per piece please share it! Could come in very handy when developing new boards.

I've just (14 November) received 3 of @sundberg84's Low Power Node PTH v2 (atmega328p and NRF24L01+) boards from OSH Park in the US, which I ordered on 24 October - panelisation and fabrication was actually quick, and they were finished and posted on 2 November. Elapsed time was 3 weeks, but I understand it can be up to twice this for boards from China (e.g., dirtypcb's).

It would be good if there was a more local source, with shorter elapsed times.

Go over to our open hardware site www.openhardware.io and check that one out.

As per my experience it's progressing.. Social login finalized and design of most parts. Hope to get some more time during x-mas vaccation to get gerber to svg functionality in place together with github integration. I would like to have some kind of "donate-to-hardware-creator" functionality.

]]>https://forum.mysensors.org/post/25892https://forum.mysensors.org/post/25892Mon, 07 Dec 2015 11:01:24 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to PCB Boards for MySensors on Mon, 07 Dec 2015 10:50:11 GMT]]>Regarding MYSX tags, I would provide tags for following versions as a minimum:

No_MYSX
MYSX1.0
MYSX1.1
MYSX1.2
MYSX1.3
MYSX1.4
MYSX1.5

The designers could then tag with the version they have implemented in their hardware

If the MYSX connector specification becomes (or is) the official MySensors connector spec, then I think a dedicated field where one chooses the version supported would make more sense than a free tag field.

Just need a list of tags to add to start with... Later I will probably extract the full typeahead-list from the database using tag in other projects.

So feel free to propose pre configured tags..
AVR, SAMD, Raspberry,...MYSX,...

I've got bad experience from free tagging. Risk of all kinds of variants, misspellings and misinterpretation.

Like MYSX.

Would obsolete this thread I guess. I would encourage all active forum members who design hw to submit their design there once deployed.
Will the form also have a MYSX field? Would be nice to have in order to survey compatibilities

Here is a preview of the "create new project" page.

I'll help to supply more details then.
Full info here: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2067/my-slim-2aa-battery-node/67

####My Slim 2AA Battery Node Board v2.0

Every board could have it's name on the left and it's own webpage with all the details.
Basic data could be pulled in from a Wiki I think, so a Wiki for all board designers to drop their stuff would indeed be nice.

Titel
Short description
KiCad or Eagle files
render of the PCB itself via Mayhew Labs or other Gerber viewer)
BOM in plain text form (if provided)
Boot loader used (or I just add a TXT with the name or URL of the boot loader)
TXT with what needs to be added to BOARD.TXT if Arduino IDE is used
MYSConnector version if provided
powered by BATT (y/n)
powered by 5V (y/n)
powered by DC 6v or above (y/n)
powered by 110/220V AC (y/n)
through hole components only (y/n)
SMD components used (y/n)
images of a build proces
images of completed builds

I tried to get all that on GITHUB, but my understanding of this platform fell short, so now I keep all this in Dropbox (to share between my various platforms)

A specific MySensors site (as Henrik mentioned) would be nice.

I think I'll flex my moderator muscles and take over the topic to keep it up2date. And relinquish my powers back to Mr penguin, should he resurface.

It's really nice with a list. If possible and @hek approves, perhaps you also could add a MYSX compliancy line with revision (1. 0 to 1.5 and sometime even higher). That way a MYSX daugherboard developer can get an overview of compliancy. I would also be great if any additional notes on MYSX daugherboard size constraints could be somehow made visible, but that would be the responsibility of the "motherboard" designer to clarify.

AC based repeater V3.sch
AC based repeater V3.brd
AC based repeater V3 partlist.txt
AC based repeater V3.pdf

For some images, look here:
http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2374/50mm-x-50mm-board-with-different-powering-options

I had the boards made by DirtyPcb, a link to order some if you want to test this boards is here:
http://dirtypcbs.com/view.php?share=12146&accesskey=c3a217d7f31434a5565ecf9bdf3f7dc6

I use the atmega328 with the same boot loader as my red board.

Any improvements or suggestions are welcome.

It allows use of 2 AAA batteries, or 5VDC on the VCC input, or anything between 6V and 24V DC when using the step down DC DC converter or 220V AC when using the HLK-PM01.

There is a place for a 3V3 regulator (when using 5V on the Vcc circuit).

There are jumpers to swap the signal (SDA or SCL) on 2 pins, and there are jumpers to enable I2C pull up resistors if needed.

Repository for this design: https://github.com/GertSanders/ACcapableSensor
