Misistemote is an Open Source, modular ecosystem that uses pre-made PCB to mix and match your choice of processor board. Is oriented to make small, mobile, battery powered electronic projects work in real conditions in a very short time.

The ecosystem follows 3 simple rules:
- PCB: pre-made, simple and easy to replicate prototyping boards
- Enclosure: Generic, waterproof, low cost, easily available.
- Cable entry: Cable glands for external sensors or power
The PCB design followed one simple principle: Try to place the MCU board as close as possible to a corner, maximizing the contiguous available PCB remaining space.
Small microcontroller | Medium MCU | Big MCU |
---|---|---|
Female headers could be added to make MCU module reusable, and to gain some space below. Notice battery socket placed in available space!
MCU plugged | Free space below | Free space side view |

Connecting wires on the underside
The best enclosures suited for the system are the ones that have external mount points and doesn't need to be opened to be fixed/detached.
Generic enclosure | Sports style enclosure |

Depending of the enclosure used there are two methods for PCB fixation: Self tapping screws or flexible foam.

If the project needs an external wired sensor or power cord, a cable gland should be used to stop exterior impurities from cause any damage to internal components. They also offer strain relief for the internal connections.
Big enclosure, thick cable | Small enclosure, thin cable |

There are several board versions, each one with different personalities
HINT | ENCLOSURE SIZE | LINK |
---|---|---|
Many MCU boards | 83x58mm | mcu-proto-83x58mm |
Many MCU boards | 100x68mm "sonoff" | mcu-proto-100x68mm |
Many MCU boards | Sports Cam compatible | mcu-proto-sportcam |
ESP32-Cam | 83x58mm | esp32cam-proto-83x58mm |
ESP32-Cam | Sports Cam compatible | esp32cam-proto-sportcam |
