Canonical hardware specs and open-source design files. Device rows: Devices.
GitHub org is source of truth for schematics, Gerbers, and CAD when published. This page is the index + field timeline; per-device BOM and firmware notes live on each device page.
| Year | Device | Units (approx.) | Mechanic / milestone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Proto PDN | 42–46 | First MCU; breakout-board builds; Quick Draw born |
| 2024 | PDN V1 | 65 | Custom SMD PCB + OLED; first integrated digital product |
| 2025 | PDN V2 | 150 | Refined enclosure; ESP-NOW wireless mesh; first full data season |
| 2026 | PDN V2 + FDN | 205 PDNs + 7 FDNs (~5 reliable) | Platform year: FDN prototypes, Posse, Shootout; multiplayer state machine |
Lessons baked into current design: embed rules in electronics (Neo 2022 paperwork lesson), plan prototype attrition for new categories (FDN + desert sun), QA serial/audio path before ring topologies.
Portable Data Node — full BOM, generations, enclosure notes.
Fixed Data Node — capabilities + Neo 2026 field notes.
