Impressive @Kokosnoot!

This thread contains comments for the article "Air Humidity Sensor - Si7021" posted on MySensors.org.

Thank you for the warming post @Soloam.

I've tried to keep the monthly costs to run the community as low as possible (~150 USD/month for hosting, domains and email services).

The paypal donations is a welcome income, but as you say it's very sporadic. The last 12 months , we received 18 donations with the total sum of $369. From what I've seen, many of them is from reoccurring donors.

The community wouldn't be able to cope with the costs solely on donations. But luckily the google ads gives ~2-300 USD/month. (even when ~50-70% of our techie user base have ad-blockers enabled, rendering us nothing).

So my suggestion is that everybody who enjoys this community makes sure to whitelist it in their ad-blocker.

And of course... I hope everyone wants to be added on the hall of-fame! (let me know if you want to use your forum handle instead of real name in the support page)
You can also choose "reoccurring payment" when doing a paypal donation if a $1-month-model suits you better.

Yeah, openhardware.io is dependent on the https://github.com/tracespace/gerber-to-svg / https://www.npmjs.com/package/pcb-stackup-core project. I use it to generate an svg which then is converted to png with alpha channel which is feed into some three.js magic hack on the frontend to "cut the holes" using alpha in the png.

Some gerbers seems to render a bit funny. I have tried tweaking it and have sent bug reports to the author a few times. But pcb-stackup is a slow progressing project. The outline have been disables due to even worse rendering in many occasions. Not sure what triggers faulty renderings. Kicad/Eagle gerbers seems to work better for some reason.

In this specific case I guess the problem is because you're using a none-standard naming of the gerber files. Check some other project on openhardware.io that renders fine to see the correct naming of the different layer-files.

Nice project! Might be hard to integrate on openhardware.io though, as it looks like a KiCad plugin.

@John-Oliva, nice! Added it to the MySensors collection:

Ok, didn't know that these two had a special thing going. Thanks.

@mfalkvidd
I think they can actually.

Maybe you should do some tests to see if it is looks resonable.
