~~/!\ draft /!\~~

As of September 2010, [[user:reox|reox]] and [[user:chrysn|chrysn]] are about to build some microcontroller stuff, partially based on the [[metaboard]], and centered around home automation.

~~----~~

People who want to participate are invited to join, even if there is just a small overlap between the things we build!

~~As of September 2010~~, [[user:reox]] ~~and~~ [[user:~~chrysn~~]] ~~are about to build some microcontroller stuff, partially based on the metaboard, and centered around home automation~~.

* [[user:chrysn|chrysn]]: base station, DMX

* [[user:reox|reox]]: sensor modules

* [[user:derdritte|derdritte]]

* ...

~~People who want to participate~~ are ~~invited to join, even if there is just a small overlap between the things we build~~.

== Goals ==

Zeile 20:

Zeile 23:

** Enhance tools used

** Create a version of metaboard that can be edited using free tools

=== Random extension ideas ===

* IR transceiver for integration with TV or universal remotes

* Measuring water level in indoor fountains

* wireless or opto-coupled USB-to-USB keyboard/mouse or serial device

** could double as a replacement for serial terminal / null modem connections (violates USB specs, but should work with Linux)

== Implementation ==

Zeile 26:

Zeile 36:

* PCB implementation: single sided PCB with no SMD components

* Board base: [[metaboard]] (at least for the base station)

* RF communication: ISM band using [http://www.hoperf.com/rf_fsk/~~rfm12~~.htm HopeRF ~~RFM12~~]

* RF communication: ISM band using [http://www.hoperf.com/rf_fsk/rfm12b.htm HopeRF RFM12B]

* Computer communication: [http://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/index.html V-USB] (works with metaboard, is cheap and much cooler than relying on serial port emulation)

* Layouting software: [http://www.gpleda.org/ gEDA] seems to be the best free schematic and PCB editor

* Board voltage: 3.3V (originally 5V, but 3.3V gives cleaner USB communication and should save power in the sensor units)

* Flashing sensors using serial interface using the [[Metaboard/2010 activities/6-pin auto-detecting programming]]

* Power supply: "18650" (z.B. von [http://www.dealextreme.com dealextreme])

=== Random implementation detail notes ===

* Some AVR boards have onboard temperature sensors that don't block an external pin. Given sufficiently low power output and sensor precision, those could be used for monitoring room temperature.

* The RFM12B modules feature low voltage detection. This could save some analog circuicy and pin on boards fed off battery w/o a voltage regulator.

== Parts ==

=== for the base board (metaboard + DMX + RF12) ===

''this is partially outdated due to the change to 3.3V board voltage''

== ~~Resources~~ ==

* a 5V voltage regulator (7805)*

* capacitors: 100nF, 22pF (2x)

* clock crystal: 16MHz (for other frequencies, check the [http://vusb.wikidot.com/hardware V-USB hardware considerations])

* diodes: 1N4004*, 3V6 (2x)

* jumper pads of length 3 (2x) and 2

* "negative jumper pads" (or whatever they are called) of length 2, 4, 6 and 8 (2x)

* polarized capacitors: 10µF (2x) (*: 1x)

* power jack*

* resistors: 68Ω (2x), 100Ω*, 1.5kΩ, 1MΩ

* RS485 driver: SN78176a*

* push button

* ATMega168 (or 328)

* RFM12 DIP*

* USB-B connector

* DIP sockets: 8*, 28

* socket for RFM12 DIP (2mm 2x4)*

The components marked with * are optional in the first stage of building the board, which will be about getting to know V-USB.

These chips might even provide a way to get the desired functionality in one chip by using vUSB to get a second USB port and optocouplers USB-side, but they are rather difficult to work with unless preassembled in a teensy.

=== Physical resources ===

We hope to be granted access to ~~metalab~~ / [[~~whateverlab~~]] resources for physically creating the boards (PCB etching (or [[PCB CNC|milling]]?), solder station, parts repository / order collections), and will approach metalabbers as soon as we know what we want at all.
