bluehash 1,581 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Anyone want to take a shot at this? Make a BoosterPack for the AND CC2500 Radio. I'll sponsor the first $10. Hopefully mail it in time with the group buy radios. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gwdeveloper 275 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 What are your requirements? I've already done this for the Mdfly version but it will be very easy to change the schematic for the other CC2500 radio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SugarAddict 227 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Whats supposed to be done with GDO2 and GDO0 ? And should pin 9 (xtal output) be used for ACLK? leave it floating? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SugarAddict 227 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Something simple...? bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SugarAddict 227 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 You might have to drop $56 to get enough of them for everyone to get 1 adapter per cc2500... which would be another 0.28 per adapter... Seeed says you can only panelize 5 of something, though 14 of these would fit on a 5x5... You could attempt 14 and see if it goes through. CC2500Adapt.brd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bluehash 1,581 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks all you guys for the quick designs. I'd really like to know what the community needs. For me, I'd go for opossum's or SA's non-panalized version. Yes, it would drive costs up, but think of the cutting that I'll have to do or rather whoever buys it. I'd prefer not to deal with panel cutting. I do not have the right equipment. I'd also like flexible I/O like both your designs have. Opossum, your first one was a nice board, you should try to have it made. I can help with logistics. Whats supposed to be done with GDO2 and GDO0 ? And should pin 9 (xtal output) be used for ACLK? leave it floating? Was this cleared out? What are your requirements? I've already done this for the Mdfly version but it will be very easy to change the schematic for the other CC2500 radio. A simple breakout.. preferably a BoosterPack. Decision: Either SA's or Opossum's. Make sure it is 5cmx5cm to keep consistency with other BP's. Will radio position matter whether it is within the board area or the antenna poking out like opossum's. SA, shouldn't you be buying a house? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bluehash 1,581 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 This looks good possum. Anybody have any suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeekDoc 226 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I like oPossum's! :thumbup: I'd definitely buy 4-6 of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattTheGeek 99 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 My breakout I'll see if i can design a BP as well. Good to have options. znanev, larsie and DanAndDusty 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DanAndDusty 62 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I like that layout MTG.. It fits with my style of prototyping (Im a hobbyist so breadboard all the way then Stripboard for something with a little more permanence). This would mean I wouldn't need a launchpad at either end.. Just a board, breakout+module, battery/LDO etc. So thanks again. Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
znanev 7 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I also favour MTG's minimalistic breakout design. I'd buy 4 of these to match with the 4 CC2500 modules from the GB thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
