I actually managed to produce something that is NEAT
and well laid out (in my opinion)
Parts:
• Arduino Nano
• ESP-01
• 5-3v Level Shifter
• Perfboard
• Bunch of headers
• Some wire
• Soldering Iron + 0.3mm Solder
• Dremel to clean things and cut things and stuff
As you can see in the photos:
The board as a whole:
The board with components removed:
The underside of the board:
Cleaned edges with Dremel:
The things I have to add still:
Also, as you can see, theres a notch missing from the Arduino near the ICSP pins, I used my Dremel to grind that away (theres no traces there as far as i can tell) so that the ESP module fits so perfectly there and the whole package fits inside the dimensions of the perf board 😀
This node has been added to my EasyIoT Server as a secondary relay node for the time being, but I want to get my hands on a DHT22 to add a temp/humidity sensor to my bedroom 😀
Then I can start expanding to other rooms in the house! MWAHAHAA
