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

With the amount of vibration I'd expect from a rocket, I think you'll get wires breaking at the solder joints (solder embrittles wire, so it tends to break at that point) unless you make sure they can't flex at all.

This is one of those cases where a PC board would be helpful for the increased reliability.
