content: Can you please put component values on PCB and schematic. You do great designs but make it easy for people who are starting out.I have seen a lot of PCB designs use component values instead of component ID. These have very small parts count so just component values is all that is needed.http://dirtypcbs.com/view.php?share=1415&accesskey=3c023d2baacde4bf56efd813fe40d994

content: Quote from: firepower on June 29, 2015, 12:19:24 pmI am not so sure about having values instead of CID's but will do my best to provide decent BOM lists.Updated also theWIFI MAINS Power Switchone, BOM to the end of the article.PCB's are still available directly from our friends from DirtyPCB's:http://dirtypcbs.com/view.php?share=5615&accesskey=401e206b2272f21313417ca77c1616d4For finished boards or any related questions: tech@esp8266-projects.com

content: Idon'tlike valuesinsteadof IDs with open hardware projects. If there are a hundered 1kOhm resistors on the board and I want to find one exact resistor in the schematic, then I'm screwed knowing only the value. But maybe on could combine both, e.g. A1k, B1k, C1k, ...

content: This doesnt make sense. If you are intended to run this from mains, why doesn't it have the power supply built in? I mean the proper way to do this would be to have mounting holes on something which has LETHAL voltages (so it doesnt flap around in the breeze), mountable inside a Nema plastic enclosure, proper relay switched output, power supply running from 110V-220V, Eurostyle or similar cable connection for all 3 wires on the input and the output. And proper insulation and warning labels, that dont poke around 230V with your serial cable. This is only a joke, right?

content: Oh come on, it's not that bad. It's opto-isolated via a moc30XX and controlled via WiFi so you don't touch it. The mains side is at a distance from the digital electronics (LED2 needs to be repositioned). You use an isolated wall-wart to power it. Designing a power-supply on board is a bit pointless, costly and dangerous for a hobby project. But I agree, it should be in a case and the mechanical design leaves room for improvement.Btw. where are the eagle-files?
