Yonder Dynamics @ UC San Diego • Nov 2024 - June 2025
Besides my main responsibility (Soil Processing Hardware v1.0) at Yonder Dynamics in 2024-2025, I contributed to other minor projects, such as: science PCB case, E-case for drilling module, acrylic electronic enclosure for the rover, and maintenance box
I designed and fabricated the acrylic electronic enclosure for the rover, along with a dedicated maintenance box. The goal in this iteration was to improve durability, minimize assembly gaps, and enhance accessibility.
For the maintenance box, I laser-cut and bent thin aluminum sheet and reinforced with 3D-printed corner brackets. This combination of metalworking and additive manufacturing minimizes gaps in each corner, marking a clear improvement from the previous design.
For the electronic enclosure, I laser-cut the acrylic panels and integrated custom 3D-printed handlebars to enhance user experience. A quarter-turn locking mechanism is installed to provide quick access during maintenance.
A case consists of science PCB, mounted under the science box.
Electronic case consists of PCB, SPARK MAX motor controller, and stepper motor driver. The E-case is mounted on the drilling module
