Pictures related to the transmitter

Initial pictures shown below give an impression of the original implementation. Some modifications were needed to solve the condensation issue explained in this lesson learned. Pictures including these modifications were copied at the bottom.

The printed circuit board

Many thanks to my friend and colleague Dylan who was so kind to mill this printed circuit board on his self-made milling machine!

A view at the bottom of the assembly. Note that the aluminium angle brackets at the sides are a bit dirty; they are reused from the past.
