Overview

Here are links to the different board designs together with a short summary.

Board 1

The project's original board design. It

  • is based on the ESP8266 chip.
  • is powered by USB.
  • uses a very simple voltage divider to demodulate the M-bus signal.
  • has shematic and pcb design only available as finished pdf/png files.

Status

Prototypes have been made and some people have started using them(?).

Board 2

This board design is a newer alternative to the original. It

  • is an Arduino shield.
  • uses the industry standard TSS721 chip to interface the M-bus.
  • is optically isolated.
  • has shematic and pcb design available in editable KiCad source files.

Status

Unfinished, just started.

Board 3

This board is a M-bus master simulator to be able to develop and test the other boards without being dependent on having and using a real AMS unit.
