    Here is an AC capable board (in a first tested version, although the filename says V3), it's my first actual spin of the PCB:

    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

      @meanpenugin will you maintain the topic post as new boards pop up in the thread? 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.

          I also noticed. 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.

            Things I would keep per board:
            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.

              Hi - yea this would be nice with a own perhaps Wiki to add and remove hardware components :)

              Controller: Proxmox VM - Home Assistant
              MySensors GW: Arduino Uno - W5100 Ethernet, Gw Shield Nrf24l01+ 2,4Ghz

                How about extending the webpage where MySensors Products and Partner Products are mentioned with an entry "Usersubmitted boards"
                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.

                  That´s a very good idea

                  if (knowledge == 0) { use BRAIN; use GOOGLE;use SEARCH; } else {make POST;}

                    That is beyond my moderation power. For such site specific changes I believe @hek is the one in charge.

                        Ok, continued a bit with the openhardware project last night. Here is a preview of the "create new project" page.

                            Looking good! 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

                              To make it a bit more general I was thinking of adding a tag field. where you can tag it with whatever you want... Like MYSX.

                                Ok, just as long as it is obvious for users what/how things should be tagged, so that searches are reliable. I've got bad experience from free tagging. Risk of all kinds of variants, misspellings and misinterpretation.

                                Do you feel secure today? No? Start requiring some signatures and feel better tomorrow ;)

                                  Combined with typeahead we can give a list of propositions. 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,...

                                    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.

                                        This is a board that I designed. I didnt think anyone would actually stumble on it. :-)
                                        I'm not sure about any mean penguins, but here is some extra documentation.
                                        https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WtImjSbQPctq8rUAT6k1CyUgJHuo2WDs6bO2HfEr8NI/edit?usp=sharing

                                        Let me know if you want more info. I have built 3 sensors with these boards with no issues.

                                          Hi everyone..i am new to this forum. 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.
