Previously I had been put off by the need to deal with all the WiFi “infrastructure” and the possibility of needing a router or Access Point. I had nearly finalized the design when it occurred to me to consider again the possibility of using an ESP8266-12 0r -07 as an alternative to the nRF24 and Attiny. Then all the contacts that need to be accessible could be on the visible side of the board. So the Attiny could be fixed on one side and then the board could be dropped over the pins on the nRF24 with the Attiny on the underside. What I was thinking of getting made is a very small PCB like this (just one side to give the idea) As you can see the way I have been doing it is rather tedious but does make for a very small package. The idea for getting the PCB made was to make it easier to attach an Attiny 1634 to an nRF24. ( tiny order, just $1 total for 3 boards) I made it because I am tired of having to re-position the 3 parts for external clock to breadboard Arduino so a quick PCB to plug in 2 XTAL pins and ground wire since not all AVR has ground pin next to XTAL pins.Īs I started this Thread and got some very helpful advice I think I should bring you up to date.

The last order I sent was free shipping and under 1 week from finished. OSHPark is probably faster for US orders because they are in US. They have never screwed up my order though so it's still to consider for quality run.

Long ago I used to use iTead for PCB but they aren't cheapest anymore.

Shipping is also about 1 month for cheap and under 1 week for DHL I have used JLCPCB before and the first time, they are cheap but they tended to get expensive on shipping, not much discount on color choices beside green, and 2 of the orders both came in with smudged silkscreen so OK but not great. I like to use PCBWay, they offer many colors beside icky green at little or no cost (white vs black silkscreen will cost a lot, so check both ie yellow with white silkscreen was $5 on my recent project but yellow with black silkscreen was $25 instead) Cheap shipping is about 1 month to US, DHL available for under 1 week but it's pricey
