PCB for ESP32 based smart thermostat controller project with touch bring-up success. The enclosure is in the works. Feeling satisfied. #IoT #smarthome

Working on a PCB revision for the #ESP32 RFM69-to-MQTT gateway with TFT display. Added a piezo buzzer, htu21d TH sensor and a LDR for smarter screen dimming.

Prototype PCB for the RFM69 to MQTT #IoT gateway with TFT, RTC, atsha204 encryption and neopixel is ready, works well. Excited π

Making good progress on RFM69 keyfob project, already planning for v2 PCB

Secure #IoT keyfob project PCB just arrived

Rewiring messed up SMD connections on prototype board

The YAPM (Yet Another Power Monitor) PCB is done and preliminary tests pass β built between a new job and scarce hobby hours.

Funky v3 PCBs populated and briefly tested β double-row headers soldered on the test unit, first impressions of the new board.
The Raspberry Pi TFT PCB is back from the fab β TFT soldered on, working on first try, small demo inside.
Laying out a proper Raspberry Pi TFT board β a non-rectangular PCB that sits on top of the Pi, off to the fab house.
The e-meter PCB arrived and is coming together β a wrong 2×8 header footprint and two missing parts, otherwise looking good.
Turning Eagle PCB layouts into 3D Sketchup models with EagleUp β my boards rendered before the fab even ships them.
TinySensor v1.4 PCB is here β now with a 3.3V FTDI connector for serial debugging, programming over it comes next.
A small home-made PCB that permanently fits the RFM12B-to-serial module on my Raspberry Pi β simpler than the native SPI efforts.
15 TinySensor v1.3 PCBs arrived β RFM12B works, the ISP connector doesn’t (my mistake), programming on a breadboard for now.
A single sided ATtiny84 temperature sensor PCB after the double-sided fiasco β etches cleanly, sends every 60 seconds.
The home etched PCB failed, and so did the kitchen sink β ferric chloride does not forgive. Lessons from a bad etching day.
My first home-made PCB: toner transfer and ferric chloride etching for the remote temperature sensor board β faster than any fab house.
The Sensing Shield PCB is ready and partially populated β first tests looking good.
My first Eagle PCB project: an Arduino shield that turns the spaghetti heat pump monitoring setup into something orderly, EmonTX based.
