Okay, the project is about to go public. It's about time. Speaking of: I have too little.

The STL files for the enclosure have been posted today, as well as the guide "How to put everything together". Oh, and also the bootloader and API documentation. Although I doubt anyone but me will write apps for this scantool anytime soon.

I have not published the Gerber files yet, as I still have to have the (hopefully) final PCB version made and a prototype built. I want to do that before I unleash the files on the public with potentially a bug in them (OMG!).

The major change with the "final" version will be support of a (drumroll please) touchscreen! The display is available with a touchscreen even cheaper than without, so I thought "why not support it?".

Also thinking about adding a spare connector for bluetooth instead of USB. One can always leave out the USB-chip and then connect a little BT board - there is plenty of space in the enclosure. Well, enough for today! Stay tuned!

Update 5/12/2025: PCBs ordered courtesy of the nice people at PCBWay! Once the boards are verified to be working I'll upload the Gerber files here!
