History:

  • 2023-02-28: boards received, soldered, working reliable, pics in picture folder, case currently in progress - not yet perfectly fitting

  • 2023-03-01: Final printing of case done, got some requests for spare PCBs, all spare PCBs now gone, if you need a PCB, you can easily upload the gerber zip file on any PCB manufacturer, e.g. PLCPCB (10 pieces, with customs to Germany in 2 weeks roughly 14 EUR).

  • 2023-03-11: Accepted pull request from @Nightreaver, thanks for the contribution, backside silk screen now mirrored, nRF footprint changed by @Nightreaver to support nRF+ with antenna (Note: openscad case not adapted and currently not planned to be adapted)

In case you are looking for a cheap source for the capacitors, I ordered mine with Christians_Shop at Amazon (they have a direct website as well).

3D Print:

Everything can be printed without support, expect for the ikea holder:

Known limitations:

  • Backside silkscreen is not mirrored, in Kicad, still needs to be fixed, result is mirrored text on backside (for new orders). --> Fixed now
  • If you print the case: The holders for the PCB are not yet perfectly aligned (need 0.5mm adjust), I "clipped" 3 of them away to avoid reprinting.

Questions

How big is the OpenDTU wDisplay PCB?

It measures 96 × 31 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the OpenDTU wDisplay use?

13 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the OpenDTU wDisplay KiCad files?

From the SteffMUC/openDTU_wDisplay2 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kikad/openDTU_wDisplay.kicad_pcb and its schematic kikad/openDTU_wDisplay.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the OpenDTU wDisplay design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SteffMUC before reusing the design.
