AIS Alarm - Faceplates Received

fmilburn

Project Objective: Develop an open source AIS Alarm that alerts sailors that a new marine vessel with AIS is within range

 

The faceplates came back today and here is a photograph:

If I make another order there are a few tweaks I will make but overall I am happy with it.  I might make the holes slightly smaller.  I hit the edge of the PCB with sandpaper where the tabs were and then a sharpie to make it blacker but otherwise it is as received.

 

Time to finish off the firmware.

    Nice use of PCBs. Some countersunk screws would finish that off nicely.

    Thanks John, it is turning out pretty good. I need to finish the firmware though and the last bit always seems to be the hardest.

    Very effective.

    It certainly beats making face plates, especially if there are a few to do, or they are complex.
