I can't recommend looking at these design files as the project is half-baked but if you're a gluten for punishment then head over to the new Codeberg repo where I've posted the FreeCAD and KiCAD files. I just want to go open early and often.

For real, though, I'd recommend waiting until this is more developed. With my prototype I've found several core aspects that need to change and there are many open questions. The circuit board designs are only general sketches that help me think through the interaction design and they certainly won't function.
After looking into what others like Wenten Dang have done with raw image sensors and custom modules
it's pretty clear to me that it's a gnarly rat hole that I don't want to take on (yet?). Check out this awesome but daunting project!
So, for the time being I plan to use off-the-shelf sensor + mount modules built by people who know what they're doing and are maybe actually EEs. I think there's a lot of fun to be had without building everything from basic components.
