Greetings! The wait for PCBs it killing me. They should get here this week (unless I am really unlucky) so I might have a day or two to assemble it, write enough code to do a demo, record it, edit it, and post it. And I thought my boss pushed me hard!

Anyway, I'll do what I can. In the mean time, I decided to work on the enclosure. I'm going for rugged, usable, and maybe a little cool looking, while keeping it manufacturable. What do you think? It is not done yet, but it's pretty close.

It's going to be a little thicker than I had hoped (but still less than 1") due to the encoder and LCD being too tall. I want to see if I can shave those down next time. I'd like to get it closer to 0.5" thick. The whole thing will be roughly the size of a deck of 3x5 flashcards.

I designed the PSDR2 to support three options for Morse code paddles, touch sensitive, normal (contact closure style), and external. What you see here is the normal style, because it's the hardest to build.

The big square to the right of the LCD is the GPS antenna. The longish hole along the bottom edge is for programming and debugging (the board will also be programmable via USB for people that aren't planning on doing any development). The other two holes along the bottom are for the speaker.

I have some ideas for some documentation I want to do as well. More on that later.
