Hmm, I haven't.. so what's more? Has MySensors been forked to another platform?

I mean people discuss all things here on forum that are in common interest including 3d printers, CNC's and work place arrangement. No wonder they will discuss other wireless protocols and platforms as well.

@scalz said in Everything nRF52840:

Lot of "noobs" don't know what means a rf stack exactly, what logics inside etc, they simply want to use MySensors because it's easy to use, especially when non former dev. That's what would expect someone discovering nrf52840 is supported in MySensors. So this gets completely confusing, external toolchains and using others rf stacks etc.. might end in hundreds of posts with just a few mysensors relevant infos (good luck for newcomers)

Those newcomers will just pass by these threads and find the answer on their topic. And then when they will learn (as many of us did thanks to this forum) they will come back to threads like this and get useful information for their further education. And those noobs, you mentioned who just wants to make "smart socket" or humidity sensor probably won't even come to the forum section as they have plenty information in tutorials on the main page. Why do you consider newcomers so dumb?

@scalz haven't you noticed that mysensors' community which is represented mostly by this forum has become more than just an arduino library? People share on this forum many projects that has only mediate connection to mysensors, if any. And many of users of the library in it's current form have outgrowing some of it's limitations, so naturally they will try to find a solution to overcome them and then share with others on this forum. I don't see nothing wrong for mysensors platform to evolve and adopt modern standards and/or protocols. And even if 15.4 is not suitable or just a replacement of mysensors protocol I think there are people here that will find it useful to read about it. Correct me if I'm wrong but there is no rule against discussing other protocols than mysensors on this forum.

@neverdie I've read about this standard after reading nrf52 page on nordic's site. Please keep posting if it is not difficult for you. I think some time in the future many of current members of mysensors community will look at nrf51/52 MCU's as a replacement and further development of the platform. Seeing someone like you digging deep into the cause will encourage others.

@neverdie why won't you use Nordic's native SDK with Eclipse? I found some tutorials how to set it up, so I guess it's an option.

Seems to be a neat tool to "automatically" convert big part with many pins from a datasheet in pdf format to KiCad's .lib file.
Linux and Windows are supported. Haven't tried it yet, but I think it's cool how many tools opensource community has made and keep inventing very convenient stuff.

@apl2017 well, in Europe we have 30ma and 10ma GFCI's for use in home networks, didn't see lower. Does Z-wave have such low power consumption?

@jeremushka really interesting question. How doesn't GFCI trip with those switches installed? Or where current leaks? Could you measure your livolo's switch consumption? I am curious.

EDIT: Ok, so I've got my thoughts together. Let's take the lowest leakage consumer GFCI - 10ma, 220v (Europe). That's 2,2Watts of power available to leak without tripping the cut-off. 2,2W for 3.3V that is needed for typical mysensors sensor is 0,66A. And typical board will consume not more than 25mA during transmission if I am correct. So we can have around of 25 mysensors smart switches sitting on one 10ma GFCI without tripping it. I'm not sure if we have to divide it by 2 for the only one half of syn wave?

@apl2017 said in AC -DC transformer sourcing:

How do you expect to power PS without neutral wire? Use ground wire instead?

Obviously he expects to power PS like it is powered in schematics he provided and like it is powered without neutral wire in every retro-fitting smart switches and dimmers that are present on the market and, apparently are certified. For example mentioned above Livolo switch. How do you expect to retro-fit those into the wall if there is no neutral wire, because mechanical switch that were installed there before didn't need it?

@neverdie I mean the game. They have everything "nuke" and "atomic".

@neverdie it reminds me Fallout for some reason I would like to have also atomic power cell for my projects in similar form factor.

@jeremushka is livolo's transformer isolated?
