💬 EFEKTA Temp&Hum sensor(ver. nRF52 )+E-Ink display

Once the code is available I would order 10x PCB's.
Also, do you have a link to the nRF52832 module? (a 840 version would be also very nice :-))ok, I just odered the 5 PCB Sets.
Beside the link to the nRF52832 Module, please provide also the link to the e-Paper Module.@heinzv said in 💬 EFEKTA Temp&Hum sensor(ver. nRF52832 )+E-Ink display:

Really nice design..
Could you please post the schematics / board files as well, as this is a openhardware site.
Also if you upload the gerber files directly (not in a zip / rar file), then the openhardware.io site is able to render 3D views of the boards etc.
@tbowmo
Thank you for rating. I will lay out the scheme in the near future, it needs to be drawn :). 3D-model does not work, it turns out a piece of cheese. I work at Diptrace( https://diptrace.com ), but this problem is not only mine - https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/9528/temperature-and-humidity-sensor-ver-atmega328-e-ink-display/30 -

So far I'm satisfied, there is one point with updating the screen. I do not really want to do a full update in the program, but probably have to. Partial update gives the effect of visible lines from the previous symbol. Look at the photo, but it is a problem of code and beauty :)

The work of the program was changed. Now the screen update is better. Looks more beautiful :)

@berkseo cool thanks for your update, really impressive which detail you are aiming to achieve!
I'm planning to get some as soon as possible :-) already gathering the parts. Any chance you upload the PCB?@jeti said in 💬 EFEKTA Temp&Hum sensor(ver. nRF52832 )+E-Ink display:

@berkseo I have ordered already the 10x PCB's and also most of the BOM. I'm also going to order one full mounted PCB (if still available).
Can you do me a favour: I need one decimal digit for the temp (not required for hum) but certainly for the temp!
Here is a hint/proposal: You can make the decimal digit smaller. I attach one sample from a Xiaomi device (unfortunatly has no wireless and not sure if/how it can be hacked and wireless added).

I attach one sample from a Xiaomi device (unfortunatly has no wireless and not sure if/how it can be hacked and wireless added).Do you want me to change the SOFTWARE a bit? Well, I do not think this is a problem. Question ... Maybe you like some kind of special font? I don’t know which one to use. I can also add technical sensors that can set device parameters through the controller of an intelligent home. An example of such sensors, see the video of my new prototype sensor. ... Now there is only one device left, but I plan to make a little more by the end of next week (I hope :)). Since I started posting my projects on openhardware, I realized that I don’t like to solder for sale, it’s not interesting :)

Note, the device consists of two printed circuit boards, the order system on openhardware does not allow you to add two printed circuit boards for one device, just formed a second revision. For self-order download archives.

@berkseo Yes, I'd like to change the SW so that the temp shows also one decimal like 21,6 C
For the decimal a smaller font likes quite nice such as shown in the picture of the sensor from Xiaomi.
I don't have a specical font in mind but rather recommend to take proportional font rather than a mono-space font whcih is rather used for debugger output but not for a productive end user display. The space between the digits is typically smaller/less using a proportional font and looks more elegant than using mono-font.I know, that the 10 PCB's are 5 + 5 (5 sets).
I can imagine, that selling soldered PCB's is not a very interesting business and is boring and time consuming for just little amount of money. I was buying one just as reference and will solder the other 5 sets by myself. I know how much effort that is. -
@berkseo I have now the PCB's and my parts. Ihave now a few questions
1.) When can we expect the sketch code?
2.) Can we also have the schematics?
3.) How to you solder parts like the TPS62745DSSR? Are you using a reflow oven? or hot air or even a small solder iron? -

2.) Can we also have the schematics?
3.) How to you solder parts like the TPS62745DSSR? Are you using a reflow oven? or hot air or even a small solder iron?- Added as a library with an example, see project page on openhardware
- Soon. ,..on PCB all marking is applied.
- First, I dissolve the flux paste and solder paste, apply a thin layer on the PCB. Installing a chip, clamping it with a reverse tweezer. Correct the position. It is then heated with a heat gun for soldering. Then remove the excess solder with a soldering iron (if any). It's simple, much harder to solder atmega 328.
I recently modified the boards, moved the elements on the power Board to the other side, made more convenient cutouts for mounting in the case. How to get ready fees, you will receive again this option further. Just all who made orders, please do not refuse payments, now a small delay in sending due to the fact that waiting for a new modification of the Board. All orders will be shipped.

@berkseo thanks a lot for the demo code. With some small correction I got it working (give some compile errors).
Could you please check if the font90.c is missing (which is used in the code but not found).
And there seem to be a typo (?) in the font36 (gives an error). I changed from Font24_Table to Font36_Table.
sFONT Font36 = {
Font24_Table,
41, /* Width /
46, / Height */
}; -

@berkseo thanks, that version works!
Maybe you can consider the one decimal digit for the temp (21,6 C). Otherwise I'll do some investigations.
The font90 will be too large (maybe font72) or we need a smaller font and the decimal digit can be a smaller font (mix of two fonts for temp e.g. font72 and font48).
Have you found a utility to convert fonts (e.g. TTF from Windwos) to generate matching font's for e-Paper (I have not yet found someting).
Since we have now enough RAM, have you thought about using the e-paper standard lib GxEPD? That has a least better font support (and also partial update)? -

Convert numbers and letters to an array in C is simple. I use a program TheDotFactory. http://www.eran.io/the-dot-factory-an-lcd-font-and-image-generator/I would be glad if someone made his version of the software in the public domain.
Please show photos of your assembled working device.
