The commencement of construction

With about 99% of the parts now arrived I have commenced the construction. The first part to be completed is the measurement head. “Why such a small part?” you may ask, well it is simple, I need to cut out a rectangular hole for the LCD and that requires me to find the clamping screws for the CNC mill which I have ever so carefully put somewhere safe. Once I find them then I can cut that out along with the hole for the USB port.

This is what I have so far. A box with a pressure transducer in one side and an M8 4 pin industrial connector in the other.

Onwards!!!
