This week we started the development of our V2 prototype box.
After validating the first prototype systems individually, we are now moving towards a more integrated and robust enclosure designed to support all subsystems in a single, reliable unit. The goal of V2 is not just improvement in form factor, but a major step forward in stability, usability, and long term testing capability.
The first focus has been the physical design of the box, redefining how the electronics are mounted to the enclosure,. Compared to V1, we are also changing the way the lid closes, aiming for a more secure and consistent sealing mechanism that improves both durability and ease of use.
Another important change is that we are redesigning several parts specifically to be more 3D-printable. This includes simplifying geometries, reducing unnecessary support structures, and making sure parts can be printed reliably across different printers without compromising strength or precision. This shift should make iteration much faster and more accessible during development.
With the experience from V1, we already know which areas require better isolation and which parts need more mechanical rigidity. V2 is being designed with those lessons directly in mind.
At the same time, we are thinking about accessibility. V2 needs to make debugging and iteration easier, not harder. That means clearer access to key components and a structure that allows fast replacement of parts during testing.
We are still in the early design and prototyping stage, but the direction is clear. V2 will be a more mature platform that brings together everything we have learned so far from GPS, IMU, radiation sensing, and data acquisition.
More updates soon.
