cubeberg 540 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'm in for writing documentation for other boosters as well - I've wanted to add notes to booster packs on several occasions. I love the idea of a minimum requirement from the forum, but some sort of security where someone has to be explicitly granted permissions should work as well - hopefully it wouldn't cause too much trouble for the admins.

LariSan 81 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Not sure if this helps at all, but I really like how littlebits is using the GIT format for their hardware documentation. https://github.com/littlebitselectronics/eagle-files/tree/master/INPUT besides the hardware revisions, we could add a "user" guide and the code? Each boosterpack to have a folder? Plus, we would have a wiki as a part of the system. I'd be willing to help write user guides. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abecedarian 330 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I mentioned above, www.ipbwiki.com Integrates mediawiki (Wikipedia's base) with invision power board... single sign-on and has roles for editors. Assign the "booster pack / board" creator editor privileges and off you go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was unable to find hardware documentation. I'm in for writing documentation for other boosters as well - I've wanted to add notes to booster packs on several occasions.

Assign the "booster pack / board" creator editor privileges and off you go. Abe. that was a good idea..but I keep away from unsupported third parties. One reason is that if ipboard(now 3.3) upgrades.. I'll have to wait for someobe to upgrade ipbwiki too.. that causes incompatibility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clay_shooter 2 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I really like the low profile "no wires" aspect of this boosterpack. I have a couple of DX Extreme and Sparfun breakout boards sitting on the shelf. Do you think it would be possible to solder those boards to the top of this one to use yours as a pass-through to the MSP430? I guess I could remove the LCDs from the DX Extreme boards and move them to yours if the pass-through won't work. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RichardVowles 12 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 So did this progress anywhere? I am working my way through collecting information on RobG's last cc2500 board. The links in the store posting erred out until i figured how to hack them, and I've pulled out a lot of info. The silk screens are missing on the boards, so the board images from Eagle are pretty important. I would also be interested in helping by making these gleanings available in one place... I've put mine in a Google Doc for the time being. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For links that are ending up in an error, make sure you remove the part after the last /, especially something linke p#763836 Automate and abecedarian 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

luke 9 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Blue#, Would you consider making it a requirement that any board added to the store must have at least a BOM, schematic and minimal write up for jumpers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
