Drilling the PCB
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYDVqSGmoBQ&feature=youtu.be
Software I use:
Designspark This do I use to draw the PCB and it's a free software.
Cambam is the software I use to produce G-code to my CNC. This is not free, but you can run up to 500 raws of code.
This is my vacuum table.
This is a finnished PCB, a serial gaway.
This is the finnished gatway up and running.
Here is my CNC mill, when i mill PCB boards do I use a plastic sheet, and have an opening just for the PCB board. I also use a 60 degree engraving bit, and mill to a depth of 0,145mm. The vacuum table do mill of about 1 tenth of a mm, time to time so I know that it's 100% flat. No need to probe more than to find the top of the PCB
The spindle is 1kw aircold, so I can't run it below 6000rpm Max speed is 24 000 rpm.
A start of my wateringsystem for my greenhouse.
Will use one Arduino to run the irrigation system, one for temp, rain and light messurement. Finally one Arduino to run 4 relays for my outdoor light.
I got this in my mail today:
Hello, since there is APi we could support this. First we will check details and let you know when we release support.
Best regards

Is it anybody who have converted it to mysensors 2.0?

A fun developing would be reading the canbus of the car. If possible to extract last milage, and fuel consumption.
Like when you take your car, drive away. Then when you come home, do the mysensors report how long you have driven, and the fuel consumption.
Normaly when you use eletricity and water, you need to sacrify something. For an example, when you cool a boat engine with water, you normaly use zinkanodes. I guess this is also the same when we want to messure humidity for an plant.
So, if you should use copper anodes for messuring, you could paint them with a zink color.
What it effects the resistance, I don't know.
@gregl one arduino to control watering, one arduino to check temp, and light also connected a rainsensor to it. The last arduino will check humidity of the plants in the greenhouse.
Simple as that.
Also I can't program the arduino, I have to "steal" all coding.
I like this mysensor concept, I have a CNC milling machine in the garage. It mills surfaces up to 1100x 800mm, I can mill PCB:s and also wood, plastic etc. I have a 3D printer on which I also can produce details, and of course my workshop for soldering and stuff like that.
But I really need to learn programming, soI think I will try study this at theevenings now when it soons get dark, cloudy and rainy.
@DrJeff say jeans??? didn't you see them (in your sentence, saw, maybe? Well since it wasn't up and running, did I have to water in my underwear.
@Yveaux finnished. And as you can see on the right is the capasitor 0805, it is small.
@Yveaux I have soldered one, plus a small smd capacitor size 0805 and YES, It was tricky.
@Lars65 a cheap USB Microscope on ebay helps when soldering.
The PCB has I milld on my CNC milling machine.
@mfalkvidd I guess the reliabillity depends on the enviroment.
short term solution for a quick repair, maybe.
But I agree, seems pretty neat.
