This is the Midea mini dongle - USB stick for air conditioners controlled by the Midea UART protocol.
This repository contains a schematic and PCB layout for a Midea mini dongle.
Thanks to Sergey V. Dudanov who created an excelent midea_ac component for ESPHome that integrates midea-like aircondititioners with Home Assistant.
Schematics are based on manufacturers datasheets but some component values come from Adafruit Learning System so thanks to Adafruit for keeping their products open source.
Small dongle with minimum components and fully assembled by PCB manufacturing service in standard case.
Make prototypes with a ready modules and found that midea_ac is very usefull and have stable result.
If you want to make your own with cheap modules please read this.
