We have achieved first blink for the Onboard Gateway!

Here’s what the Onboard Gateway board looks like, all assembled:

The circuit boards arrived in Canada earlier this week:


This is a 3 continent effort: circuit boards designed in Venezuela by @Leonardo Ward, code developed in Nigeria by @Oluwatobi Oyinlola, and assembled into the 3D pieces made in Canada by @Erin RobotGrrl.

Tobi is going to get circuit boards made locally as well, and he will send a few to us — that’s going to be really cool. The circuit boards also arrived in Pasadena, CA late last week, and these will be shipped from DesignLab to Venezuela and Nigeria - thanks @Giovanni ! Next steps is more testing, and Buoy A and Buoy B boards have to be assembled.
