sorry just not seeing were i can delete the .txt or extract the file
It’s a windows thing, you must change the way windows show files. Administrator rights and so on.

Thanks that was easy. just checked the file name extensions box in file explorer.
That’s my fault, it forgot to mention in view up top, to show extensions. Sorry
I’m at Cheyenne, Oklahoma , what part of Kansas are you in ?
Wondering if I send you a check, we could split 10 soldered boards, since your already ordering.
Benjamin, we could use your assistance with our project, as we want to include your pcb.
Kaupoi is modifying his PCB to mount and power a miniature ethernet switch from BotBlox, and we are looking at Benjamin’s dual pcb to stack under the autosteer board. The SwitchBlox switch comes with the leads to connect everything. Going to put a panel mount coupler in the side of the box, so we’ll have one ethernet cable from tablet, and a nice neat little module in the box, that hopefully anyone can assemble.
Could you add the 4 mounting holes for Kaupoi’s pcb to set on top of your pcb ?
Also, I would like to make traces that come from mosi,miso, sck, and cs, from one of the f9p’s to the ethernet shield, but leave a blank in the traces for jumpers on each, so if someone wants to use it with only one f9p and no esp, he could add 0 ohm jumpers and still have udp.
The mounting holes are 5mm diameter, 91 centers, square. Thanks
Edit
Forgot, I would like to add mounting holes for rfd900 radio on the bare area on the lower right as well. It wouldn’t need any traces, we can just wire it for now

Curious is their a reason your using RFD radios instead of digi SX which i understand are basically the same as the ones ardusimple offers
Edit. just looked at their website guess i dont see anything wrong with them. Have you used them? what atracted you to them?
The drone guys use them, and I started with them for their input. They work well and are small. I like the idea of the digi, but the digi are dual baud and don’t know enough about them to try. I know the xbee supposed to not work with rfd900.
Benjamin, here are the dims for the RFD900 radios.

why are their 2 sma connectors
You can use 2 antennas, say an omni, and a directional, and the radio receives off of the strongest signal. I just put a small antenna on the radio, and a 5dbi on the roof. Only requires one antenna installed to work though.

Guys, Matthias is using this w5500 to connect UDP. If we can put it on the board in place of USR TCP, it would take less space.

Hi guys,
sorry i haven’t been here active for quite a while. I hope it’s not to late to help you.
I haven’t had any trouble with the boards except the TX/RX. They just work.
If you like, i can add a few holes to the PCB for you.
As far as i can remember i am using the Version 1.1 and the settings are:
RX1 - 27
TX1 - 16
RX2 - 25
TX2 - 17
WiFi LED - 13
The Version 1.2 i never used, because i only changed the Pins for TX/RX and ordered 10 pieces of V1.1.
Matthias wrote for v1.2 you have to take
RX1 16
TX1 27
RX2 17
TX2 25
So i messed it up again. These bloody TX/RX things… Just the point of view 
I am in the AgOpenGPS International Group with the name “Benjamin”.

We ordered v1.2 I think. Says 1.2. So we need to swap the rx and tx both in the web interface or ino ?
We will try them and maybe we can add holes for rfd900 radio in the future, and correct the rx, tx at that time.
Wouldn’t be against another header for SPI, to add the usr module I posted, now that Matthias has code added to his ino. I will post our results in a couple weeks or so. Just ordered boards Wednesday, I think

All right, by the time you know, that both lines are swapped, I can make a v1.3
Can add some holes etc.

Are you able to change this header to fit the USR w5500 I posted above ? With miso top left, so we are aiming to the right still

I made dual with c099-f9p, work good but a lot’s of breadboard wire !! Did anyone already try to plug them on this pcb ?
sounds great, well give a trial run on current model. and then try to make an updated version based on our experience. Add radio etc. etc.
Maybe like this.
Feel free to comment

Looks good. Did you keep the mount holes the same spacing ?

Yes, haven’t touched the PCB itself (size/ 4 outer holes).
Just placed the w5500.
Added a screw terminal for the WiFi reset button (@MTZ8302)
Changed the pins for the header so there is the SDA/scl lines, 5v and gnd.
Changed the tx/Rx lines for both f9p. So should fit with Matthias code now.
@MTZ8302 wants 2 extra pins for a rs232 port.
@Jhmach wants only holes for the radio?
Have to look for this…

Not sure what other people do for fusing. Ive been an automotive style fuse block in my swiftnav boxes.
be nice to have something integrated onto PCB
