Free Flex Modules
Chris Hamilton wrote 07/29/2015 at 19:44 • 2 pointsHi, Fyber Labs is needing volunteers to help create drivers for our various Flex Modules - https://hackaday.io/project/2236-flex-modules. If you are interested in any of our boards, but don't see drivers/libraries contact us and we will be happy to give you a board to develop with. We have repositories available for most embedded environments:
https://github.com/FyberLabs/FlexModules_Arduino
https://github.com/FyberLabs/FlexModules_MBED
https://github.com/FyberLabs/FlexModules_Espruino
https://github.com/FyberLabs/FlexModules_eLua
https://github.com/FyberLabs/FlexModules_MicroPython
We welcome you to port our drivers or any BSD or MIT license compatible drivers to any of the above (and preserve the same license). We do ask that you make at least a half-assed attempt before we will send out a board for testing :). Please contact us before starting as we may already have some code we can share with you to help (especially Arduino, MBED, and Espruino). We may also have some coding standard advice as well.
Thanks!

Did you already finish the #UV Index Flex Module HW Layout?
I would volunteer to create a Layout and a Library for Arduino.
Best regards, and Good Luck!
Are you sure? yes | no
No we haven't started on it. I don't believe I have even made a footprint for the Si1147 yet. Si has an eval kit to copy from, so it should be straight forward to fit in to a Flex Module sized board. I tend to use Diptrace, but might transition to Circuit Maker. What EDA tools do you have?
Are you sure? yes | no
Hmm... i used to use EAGLE but Circuit Maker sounds also interesting.
Are you sure? yes | no
Well, in theory I am fine with any EDA tool. However, I would prefer keeping a consistent look when it comes to a few parts like solder bridges and castellations. I haven't tried migrating the patterns yet. I think they need to be created from scratch for any EDA.
Are you sure? yes | no
Are you able to "reimport" some data into your EDA Tool?
BTW: What are castellations? (Sorry my favourite translator let me down)
Are you sure? yes | no
Well that depends on the direction. Diptrace does export to some older proprietary file formats, but not 100%. So it is probably best to redraw them. Castellations are what the board pins are called that are half routed off.
