sleepy-btn - super small wireless iot button¶
Why:
- needed a battery powered button for general purposes =)
- extending FreeCad skills using the amazing linkstage3-branch
- just build a cool thingy with our stick as a base to show what its capable of! ;)
Requirements:
- be as small as possible
- have a long battery life (multiple years)
In this video we are switching a light with this button in combination with our CC2652RB flush mounted relay
The housing consists of 3 parts. The bottom, top and the pushbutton-plate.
The inner part is there to hold the actual button in place and at the right height. The holes/cuts are just to print faster :)
To waste as little space as possible we soldered the wires directly to the battery. A battery holder would be too big. Currently we are trying to design a 3D part which will hold the battery and clamp the wires to it!
All of the 3D files will be released soon on our github, the software too.
