Future Hardware Development
One of our key future development goals is the design and production of a custom PCB specifically developed for the Mosquito Laser Targeting System. This would allow us to integrate the system’s sensors, processing hardware, power management, and control electronics into a more compact and optimized platform.
We are currently looking for people interested in PCB design and embedded hardware development who could contribute to this development process. Using our Iwalat & Key-ah development process in KiCad, we are preparing the foundation for manufacturing our first custom PCB design.
If you are interested in learning more about PCB design and contributing to future hardware development, we recommend the official KiCad tutorial. The complete tutorial typically takes around 6–7 hours and provides a practical introduction to designing a PCB from start to finish.
