Hi steveknox, I just sent you a DM with a few questions.

Hello Damien,

Congrats for the awesome progress - I really would like to have a GS450h here to (try to) follow your steps =)

Sorry for repeating an already asked question, but as I saw you were now offering a full built option for the ZombieVerter VCU, I was wondering if the situation for the ...

Dear @remy_martian,

Thank you for expressing your opinion - that I respect and voicing your concerns.

Not wanting to fuel a flamewar nor feed a troll, but as a newcomer to this board I give you the benefit of the doubt and kindly tell you that you may be wrong in your analysis.
My intent here ...

Hi @johu, sorry for taking your time, but did you have the opportunity to review the two pending pull requests #17 and #18 ?

Let me know if I should change something.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @johu, how is the BOM check going ? Do you need some help ?

On a related note, I was thinking of doing the same thing (converting to KiCad) the Leaf Adapter . However the files on your repo ( leaf_adapter.fpc and leaf_adapter_smd.fpc ) are for an older version (v3 main board) - not the one you ...

Thanks !
Keep us informed

Excellent, thanks !

One thing to check is that the BOM is consistent. I had to manually find all the component on JLCPCB and some time I may have chosen the wrong one (tolerance / voltage / etc...)
(If you still have your original BOM I can cross check that to confirm the part choices.)

Here it is https://github.com/llange/openinverter-hw-mainboard-mini .
I tried to stress it in the README - there are certainly errors introduced during the conversion. I tried my best but don't have that much experience using KiCad nor designing boards.
I also tried to express the fact that it's a ...

You're certainly right but while I used eagle a long time ago (DOS version anyone ?) I now prefer to use free software, hence my KiCad approach.
What do you think so ? Should I share it somewhere, or you prefer that I don't ?

Hi @MattsAwesomeStuff, you're welcome, and your kind words are appreciated !
It seems you have been through the same path of documenting things you wanted to understand... so thank you also for your multiple contributions to the project !

Thank you for the file update.

OK for your stance on the manufacturing data / gerbers. You're right that they can be generated, but I try to avoid Eagle now that it needs an account/activation and try to use free software when possible...

I've just finished the conversion to KiCad for the ...

Hi @johu, thanks for the last merges.

Still 2 others PRs on GitHub if you want to !

Also, if you find some time, please have a look at my other HW-related question in the forum

Hi @johu, Now #16 is ready for review also.
If you don't know (yet) PlatformIO I suggest that you have a look at it if you want to script or automate your builds ; it works with Arduino but other Framework, OSes, etc... ; supports multiple boards / cpus / compilers / etc... and is a solid base for ...

Hi @johu, I believe you fixed this already in your git for the mainboard-mini.sch and mainboard-mini.brd (however the PDF File of the schematics is not updated).

Would it be possible that you also share the Gerber files, BOM and Placement file ? I was wanting to convert this schematic/board from ...

Yes, I need to "rebase" each time you merged the previous one, then I switch the status from "Draft" to "Normal".

I just unlocked the https://github.com/jsphuebner/esp8266-web-interface/pull/15 for you to apply.

I'll do the same thing for the 2 or 3 left.

(I could do without rebasing I think but ...

Hey @vwbrady, thanks for the encouraging words ! I'll add another way to update the HTML-ish files soon (a small 'upload.sh' which can be used to upload either all files or a specified file, can be quicker than upload the whole filesystem)

@johu, I submitted the first PR for your review on GitHub ...

Thanks @johu for your feedback on github.
Accordingly, I've reworked the layout, you can have a look at the final layout here :
https://github.com/llange/esp8266-web-i ... -mdns-name

If it's OK for you then I'll open a few PRs for that.

Hello,

As I wanted to get my hands dirty with the web interface code (not the HTML ; but the .cpp) and compile it, I did have some small troubles setting up a dev environment.

I took some notes, and reworked a little the file layout of the main git (https://github.com/jsphuebner/esp8266-web ...

Hello,
I'm not (at the moment) a ZombieVerter / OpenInverter owner/user ; so my questions (below) are intended to have a better picture of the whole ecosystem (ZombieVerter / OpenInverter) before diving in.
Please accept my apologies if it's the wrong thread, if the answers could have been found ...
