(This is my first post so it won’t be well formatted.)
So I am designing an arduino project for a company I am launching soon, and I am in need of a casing for this project. I am limited to Tinkercad (I’m broke😞) and I need a holder that has these features:
The SD, TFT screen and neo-6m gps are 3.3V logic level parts.
But the UNO R3 is a 5V logic level part so logic level conversion components are needed to interface your parts, which makes no sense to me for a modern commercial product.
In addition the neo-6m gps is a very old design, better performing GPSs have been available for many years.
How many years electronic\Arduino design experience do you have ?
For a commercial product, there are several reasons why this ancient hobby board is an extremely poor choice: wrong logic voltage for modern components, way too little memory for modern applications and a huge waste of space.
Once your prototype is working and thoroughly field tested, have a custom PCB designed and made, then make the case.
There are numerous free programs for designing 3D models.
The casing is going to be very specific to the components you are using, as well as how you intend to power the device (internal batteries or external power source).
It does a lot but there are many other packages available from very expensive to free. I am not into the mechenical end so I use KiCad which is free and runs on most platform. I cannot recommend anything as I do not know what platform you are using.
Arduinos are designed for experimentation and learning, often used with breadboards and loose wires, which can become unreliable if vibrated. They are not built for harsh, dirty, or electrically noisy environments commonly found in industrial, automotive, or other commercial applications, making them unsuitable for such settings.
To ensure we can provide the most accurate assistance, please include detailed information about your setup. Specify the exact board, shield, wiring configuration, and power sources you are using. An annotated schematic is ideal, as it provides a clear overview of your setup, but be sure to also include links to the technical specifications of your hardware components.
Before posting your code, please review the forum guidelines and use code tags for better readability. Also, provide links to the technical information about your hardware, and include a preliminary schematic that shows all power, ground, and connections. For additional guidance, you can refer to this link: Useful Links and Tutorials. Note that in this context, breadboard diagrams are not considered proper schematics.
Most startup companies design the case first--usually very modern and sleek, then make product pictures featuring its use by active, attractive young people, in order to attract funding and potential customers.
