Spare bus adapters

[nholloh]

Does anyone, preferably from Germany, have a spare bus adapter lying around?

If not, I may proceed with an order. If you're looking to source one through me, feel free to leave a message here.

Germany is no problem. I do not need an adapter, but I can support if needed.

Please note:

1. Currently the V3.1 (latest version) is not in a release file or production folder.
   You need to create the JLCPCB data from KiCAD (there is also a JLCPCB plugin which I use).
   If needed, I can create the production files.
2. The version 3.0 had some bugs, which we hope to have fixed in 3.1, but we did not produce 3.1 yet.
   We changed:

• Way smaller board, more dense, more tiny parts.
• We changed the bus connector from a screwing type to a plugin-type.
  JLCPCB should ship a matching cable end together with the boards, but we have not yet tested if this is really the case :)
• The powering scheme is changed a bit
• We implemented a fix for receiving the data, via comparator
• We increased the sending amplification.

So all in all, I think it should work, but as its the first run for 3.1, there is a risk that we may find other bugs.
I can assure that I can try to support it - we got all v3.0 boards working :)

I‘m interested in getting a V3.1 adapter and then would have a working V3 one for sale in case someone is interested.

Shall we order 5x V3.1 as a first step to see if everything is working?

If there is interest, I can offer to do the JLCPCB procurement again - to test the PCBs here on my test setup.
If you share the cost, and I can keep one for development? (same as 3.0)

@jschroeter I'd be up for 3.1 as well. @DaSchaef sounds good to me!

[DaSchaef]

I created a private repo, so that we can better exchange non-public data.

@DaSchaef I would be interested in a 3.1 unit as well, my Gira setup is a bit more complex and could be interesting for testing in a larger install.

@DaSchaef
I found this just this morning. I have a gira door communication and and home assistant server. I would like to help you testing the board.

[DaSchaef]

I'll contact you. We have one last adapter available.
For future needs, we need a next run at JLCPCB.

Anyone had any luck ordering from JLCPCB? they seem to currently be out of stock on the connector .. if anyone has done or wants to do another run ordering these, I'd be in..
