I built a Tricorder prrototype

A while ago I joined a star trek themed group which works with kids and teenagers. We mainly do missions that focus on teaching the kids stuff.

This Tricorder is meant as a tool and has different sensors included

  • Temperature
  • Ultrasonic distance
  • gas sensor
  • NFC Reader
  • compass

Sadly, there are still many problems but I'm kinda proud about the result. When I've got some some spare time I'll work on a second version

That's a great V1! It's not easy getting all that packed together.

I'll have to design a pcb for the next one. My gf had to resolder everything because I suck at it.

I've got a picture of the chaos inside here: https://blog.a-wels.de/2022/07/18/Tricorder.html
