For the primary Arduino enclosure, I started with a cast aluminum project box. It has a few holes in it from a previous project, but that's alright, consider it ventilation....

I designed a stand to support the gun and the distance sensor, Arduinos, and firing circuit. Using some 20mm >80/20 t-slot aluminum and connectors, I built this. It's not really...
