After a long lag I'm working on the hardware for the next version of the Tricorder!

It's not a huge change from the Version 5 to Version 6, more of cleaning up the current design that the Version 5 ended up with. The soldering work is about half done right now, I still need to finish up the sensor array, additional sensors and the door assembly.

The current Version 5 will have some of it's sensors moved to the V.6 (the GridEYE, 9-DOF/ATM, UV sensors) and everything else will be the same sensors in smaller breakout boards.

Changes with the Version 6:

• Slightly re-designed, a bit wider and shorter to allow a touch more room
• Different sensors for:
•      Gas sensing, got the newer version of the sensor board
•      LUX, IR sensors replaced with same IC but smaller breakout board
• This Feather M0 has a Packet Radio for if I make any hand scanners in the future, still unsure of that

Ultimately I want to keep the older version working, likely remaking the casing so I can fit bulkier sensors into it (like the shape of the TNG Medical Tricorder). Since both will be using the same Feather M0 boards I also want to write one firmware that will work on both units if possible.

Right now I'm focusing on the hardware and will resume on the code afterwords.
