Project Overview
• 5 separate PCBs (4 module boxes and 1 control board)
• Each PCB has different requirements based on function.
• All Communicate wirelessly
Commercial Products
•X10–Powerline Communication–Simple–Unsightly–Wall Wart–No Status Indication or manualcontrol.–Inexpensive ($20)
Commercial Products
•Lutron RadioRA–Proprietary Wireless protocol–Integrated in Wall Box(Not easiest retrofitting)–Expensive ($95)–Fun Colors–Manual Operation and Status
Commercial Products
•Roku–Simple–Fanless–Status Light–Compact
Packaging Specifications
•Dimmer:–4” x 6” PCB–Tall enough for SSR and transformer–2 power plugs–Rotary Encoder
Packaging Specifications
•HID:–3” x 3” PCB–USB Interface
Packaging Specifications
•IR:–3” x 3” PCB–DC Wall Wart Power
Packaging Specifications
•Shade:–4” x 6” PCB–Room for 2 relays–Terminal Block Connectors
Packaging Specifications
•Control:–3” x 3” PCB–Serial Interface–Motherboard in offthe shelf mini-ITX case
Packaging Specifications
•Control:–3” x 3” PCB–Serial Interface–Motherboard in offthe shelf mini-ITX case
PCB Footprints
•Wireless:–Try to separate from power circuitry to reduce noise–Avoid Metal Enclosures
•Size:– Some large components like transformer, SSR–Leave enough room for headers and routing
