As some of you know, I managed to break the USB connector off the prototype board while taking it to the AMSAT symposium.
I have repaired it by cutting the end off a USB cable and soldering the leads on directly. It's a little kluge but working.
To protect my connections and to protect the board a little I designed a box and that will be 3D printed. If this works out
and you want one for your board I can pass along the info later. It will take about two weeks to get the box and check it out.
There is an area provided for the USB connector. The connector on the PCB will come off without a lot of angular pulling force.
Also designed a box for the larger CubeSat prototype. Attaching a copy of this too. I add two places to mount an SMA connector for antennas
which may be a stiff piece of wire or connected to a remote antenna. I have order one of these to try out. This is a half baked idea and open for suggestions about
how to improve on it. I have two covers one for each side so you can get access to parts for testing or changes.
The cost for me to make all four parts is about $46 including shipping and handling. I use something called
Craftcloud.com.
