Hacking my home boiler - opensourcing the Hovilink design
This is a bit of a follow up on an earlier article about hacking into my gas condensing boiler. As promised back then I’m opensourcing my design.
In the meantime utopian.io is getting traction. This is a beautiful initiative to support open source contribution on our favorite steem blockchain. To get a bit of a feel about how this neat project is advancing I decided to opensource my hardware design on a personal github repository and announcing this using the service. One issue I see is that I have to choose a category and this project doesn't really fit in any of them.
At the moment I only created a readme and added the design, this is the initial commit. In a later phase I plan to update the wiki to add some description about the PCB. The files committed contain the Eagle 7.7 schematic and two layer board design as well as a pdf version of the schematic and images of the PCB.
The finished PCB looks like this. Dimensions are 25.6 by 19.8 mm.
A special thanks to openv.wikispaces.com for providing enough information to make this project possible!
