Heard across a street. Highly intelligent. A bike alarm like no other! $210 CAD. Direct from manufacturer: $120 CAD.
With prices for off-the-shelf enclosures having risen, and supplies dwindling, I’ve had to consider making my own. Yet again!
I’d started off by naively thinking of local, custom production. And the obligatory 3D-printing. Then, I ended up researching metal fabrication–even welding! The current focus is on sheet metal. All the going-around-in-circles eventually bore fruit: Riveting is the practical substitute for welding!
I’ve made many mock-ups of the many mental, and paper, sketches of my enclosure designs. Below is the latest.
I ought to post a brief outline of the logic behind the enclosure’s design. RSN! 😉
Enclosure Mock-Up
I ain’t gonna have time for any “brief outline” of anything!
So, let’s just say that, as with everything else to do with this system, numerous attack scenarios have to be considered. And consumer aspects, too, need to be considered–such as installation, battery replacement, etc. Hence, the above shape!
And I’ve not told you about the internal aspects of the enclosure. (That is, the mechanical aspects of the interior, not the electronics or the firmware.) But, this week’s stack of tasks includes PCB stuff, soldering, testing, and much additional coding, while purchasing and stock-hunting continue. And, yeah, I gotta find a part-time job!
