Documentation? #61

I'm new here, sorry but I couldn't find the documentation on how to link the components.

revk commented 1 year ago

How do you mean?

It says clone recursive and make. That's it. If you have ESP IDF set up.

What problem are you having?

calebemelo commented 1 year ago

I saw that some users built their own modules through your project, I didn't find how to build the module, where to connect tx, rx, count controller.. sorry I'm newbie.

revk commented 1 year ago

I assumed you meant software linking, sorry.

The S21 has a tx and rx pin, you need a module that can tolerate 5V. You can connect to any GPIO pins on your module and configure them to be the pins to use for Tx and Rx.

Thank you very much, I will try to find someone with knowledge of electronics to do it for me.

Hello, I live in Brazil, I found a company that manufactures the board with the components, would it be difficult for you to provide the gerber.zip file with the components? this is the company website https://jlcpcb.com/

revk commented 1 year ago

The GitHub has PCB (which contains various versions) with production directory that includes the JLCPCB specific gerber, bom, and position files needed. The latest PCB Faikin3 needs to be ordered with:-

Faikin3 is being updated over the next few days, and will then replace the other PCB designs once prototypes from JLCPCB are confirmed, next week.

So may be worth waiting a few days.

What is the best way of people identifying if they a Faikin 1 / Faikin 2 / Faikin 3 board?

I fairly sure I have a Faikin 2, which has a date of 2023-06-01 on the PCB.

revk commented 1 year ago

They all work the same.

2 and 3 are just trying out some new parts. I don't think any have been sold yet.

Once I have the prototypes and confirmed they work then they will replace Faikin.

If I am lucky I'll get Faikin2 tomorrow and confirm the new power supply layout works.

Faikin3 will be next week, and has additional protection diodes and a new LED as well. The previous LED had protections problems which meant manually reworking 10% of the boards!

But the connector, pin outs, and size are all the same.
