The electronics work is now essentially complete. Just need to rework the power line feeding the powered hub to hook in the on-off switch that fits in the empty hole in the upper right. After some initial concern that the GPS module may have been defective, it appears to work fine. Better, once I did a little cable-tie work (note the loops of dental floss on the colored wires) to hold the wires away from the square antenna. With the upstairs deck partially occluding the sky from the office window, it manages to get an intermittent fix. Whew. Now to print the cover that conceals the board and USB sockets. Still to go: the aforementioned power switch splice and associated connections to the LED panel, printing the cover, and cutting holes in the case for the HDMI connector to the camera head (waiting for the adapter to arrive), the power socket, and the external antenna connector. Oh, and lots and lots of programming...

CAD rendering of roughly what Windshield Webcam v.2 will look like when done. The cover in the middle won't actually be transparent, and the Pelican box it fits in isn't shown. For scale, the transparent cover is roughly 3" x 5". The white ring on the camera head is 30mm in diameter. The whole thing is about 8" x 4" x 2.5".

Not perfect, but a much prettier pattern.

There may be something I am missing about the algorithm that determines how a print is laid down, but this pattern is so ugly that I can't see it being optimal.

The makings of the "flight" version of the Raspberry Pi windshield time lapse camera. All that stuff has to be packaged into the black box on the left.
