Hacking my home boiler - opensourcing the Hovilink design
This is a bit of a follow up on an earlier article about [hacking into my gas condensing boiler](https://steemit.com/steemstem/@jefpatat/hacking-into-my-gas-condensing-boiler). As promised back then Iā€™m opensourcing my design. 

In the meantime [utopian.io](utopian.io) is getting traction. This is a beautiful initiative to support open source contribution on our favorite steem blockchain. To get a bit of a feel about how this neat project is advancing I decided to opensource my hardware design on [a personal github repository](https://github.com/JefPatat/Hovilink) and announcing this using the service. One issue I see is that I have to choose a category and this project doesn't really fit in any of them.

At the moment I only created a readme and added the design, this is the initial commit. In a later phase I plan to update the wiki to add some description about the PCB. The files committed contain the Eagle 7.7 schematic and two layer board design as well as a pdf version of the schematic and images of the PCB.

The finished PCB looks like this. Dimensions are 25.6 by 19.8 mm.

A special thanks to openv.wikispaces.com for providing enough information to make this project possible!
