What did you build today (Pictures) ?

I've continued my quest to get all MySensors defines documented, by creating some pull requests
https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/pull/1111
https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/pull/1108
https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/pull/1106
https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/pull/1105The only keywords left new are ones that I don't understand good enough to document. These are tracked in
https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/issues/1107 and https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/issues/1090 -
I also added buy links for a shielded PA+LNA module and a more reliable source for regular nrf24l01+, on request by @gohan who managed to dig up good Aliexpress buying sources. Thanks gohan!
The buying links are available at https://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio and https://www.mysensors.org/store/radio -

"22" board
Looks great, can we get more info about it/link?@dakipro said in What did you build today (Pictures) ?:

Not really, I posted about it long ago here (https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/7836/what-did-you-build-today-pictures/136) It's just made for me to play by making a sensor as small as possible, but it's pretty hard to solder and with CR1632 and nrf22 the battery life won't be that good (around 1 year) so I don't think I'll publish it.

These arrived today...
New gateway and nodes with signing is first on my list.

Working on setting up a new work bench in my back room in my basement where my HA equipment rack is. I wanted to build a case for my serial nRF24L01-PA-LNA gateway built on a rev8 Easy Newbie board. I just had the board sitting on a shelf on my rack, and now I want to mount it on my MDF board with all of my other equipment. Here is the design that I came up with for the case.
This is the inside bottom of the case:
And here is inside the top of the case:
It has a spot for 3 - 5mm LEDs for the transmit, receive and error lights. There is a hole on the right side of the case for the PA-LNA antenna connector. The oval hole on the lower right side of the case is for the DC in jack. I had one of these in my parts bin:
The hole on the bottom right is for the FTDI adapter connection. I am using one of these adapters that has a mini-USB connector:
I have the case running on the printer now. I will post pics when it is done.
Vera Plus running UI7 with MySensors, Sonoffs and 1-Wire devices

For anyone interested, here is an OpenSCAD rendering of the MySensors logo:
I tried posting the OpenScad code for this, but it is too long to add to a normal post. So here is a link to the OpenSCAD file.
MySensors_logo.scadSpecial thanks to @hek for giving me the .svg file that allowed me to create this. I would be curious to see peoples uses for this.

So I tried printing the cover for this with my original design using Cura as my slicer, and I couldn't get the logo to print right, plus the text under the LEDs was a bit too small. I then modified the design a bit and made the logo and text a bit bigger. I again tried printing it using Cura, but the logo still was missing some lines in the body. I then thought that part of the problem was the slicer I was using, so I tried it using Slic3r and I have to say, the logo came out MUCH better.
I ended up losing the Y in "My" Sensors and the ending "t" in "Transmit", but I am going to use the case the way I currently have it. Now I just have to assemble the new gateway. I am planning on making a whole new gateway and trying out the new 2.2.0 library. Hopefully my older 2.0.0 nodes will not have any issues with it, but that is why I plan on keeping my pro mini from my 2.0.0 gateway so I can revert back to that if I have to.

Built case for soldering tools, to easily move them out of the way.
Not really, bought it on banggood and asked wife to assemble it (she likes those type of projects, especially if the office might look a tiny bit cleaner) https://www.banggood.com/DIY-Self-assemble-RC-Model-Tools-Case-Screwdriver-Box-Gripper-Package-Plier-Stand-Retro-Style-p-1257252.html?cur_warehouse=CN
Laser cut plywood(or something), looks quite nice I think. I will order few more when they appear in stock.

So here is my contribution to this tread: a differential drive "brain". A work in progress:
-
Finally finished my 2.2.0 gateway and have it mounted in the new enclosure. It appears to be talking to my 2.0.0 sensors just fine.!

Another motion and led strip node.

@sundberg84 Nice. I was wondering if I had an use for these. Now I want them everywhere!
@nagelc - easy to hide, looks good and awsome as night-lights for the kids. Its also a bit woav factor connecting them to a motion detector so they lights up when someone walks by.

Bathroom controller. It consist of a relaybox with a HLK 5v power source, it's hidden in the closet. Then I have realy to light, nightlight, mirrorheat, and extraction fan
And then the controller it self it's a Wemos D1 Mini Pro, Si7021 Temp/Hum, sensor and a PIR HC-SR501

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2890456@bjacobse Nice project. I like the 3D printed wall box. have you given any thought of having separate control of the lights and extraction fan? The reason I ask is that it may be beneficial to use the temp/humidity sensor to determine when the fan runs or gets shut off based on room humidity. This would be useful to reduce the chance of mold brought on by excess humidity.
