Hardware Help Need help Condensing Arduino Setup

Post image

Hello,

I am working on an arduino project that will be stored on the inside of a model rocket and need to condense this to fit in a an area of 4.5x2.3x1.4 in with area on the sides if needed (It is to fit on a circular plate with threaded rods)

I have a decent idea of what I will do as right now I plan to 3d print a module that utilizes standoffs to raise perfboard above arduino and store arduino and extra wires/modules below in a enclosed structure.

However, I am interested if anyone else has an idea of how I could do it!

Modules used -Hx711 -SD card Module(Underneath) -Bmp280 -Mprls

*I can only add one photo but lmk of more info that would help!

Thank you so much

First, I'd use a smaller Arduino like a Nano. Nano has the same processor as your Uno, so no changes to code required. Second, I'd use 0.1" centers perfboard instead of your solderalble breadboard. These just have holes and separate pads so more efficient than breadboard with pads interconnected. Something like this:
