PCB Boards for MySensors
-
Seems like meanpenugin has not logged on for at least 7 months ...

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 buildsI 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 :)
-
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. -
I submit my baord here with the brief info key while we're waiting for something better. 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
Schematic: Yes
Build Files: Yes
Able to Modify: Yes -
NICE! :+1:

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 -
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.
-
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
MYSX1.5The 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.

I agree with @GertSanders

@smokey1300
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=sharingLet 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.

@NariParish - there is a "donate-to-hardware-creator".
Go over to our open hardware site www.openhardware.io and check that one out. -
Is there a 'local' source of PCBs for MySensors (i.e., UK / Europe)?
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.
