this kind of optic fiber is probably only plastic so for a full DIY , you can use also fishing wire with a big power led or an old chistmass tree optic fiber lighted.....
Hey! This looks like a great project! I'm considering building one for my hives.
I notice that the legs need to be welded. That will be a chore for people that want to make this build themselves.
Is this version designed to be built by anyone?
Did you consider using open source or standardized hardware? Think of 2020 alu profiles or something, to allow reasonable buildability for users other than beep-base-shop.
Also let me know if I misjudged, and that all components could be simply bought online.
Stay awesome!

I have already published all the documentation, on my website, GitHub and openhardware.io
For now I leave the node as finished.

@zeblong, you can generate these from the board files, however i'm leaving this one for @Ivan-Z to discuss with you as this is his device and he knows all details regarding this.
Sorry, 1 more question. At what timeframe do you expect diy packages to be for sale? I have checked with steel manufactures before for other projects, but having a small batch of steel tubes means that they will be enormously expensive and the same goes for the PCB's. The milling I can do easily at a maker space (fablab013). I am planning on a rather long, 1 storey hive, so I plan to cut the metal tubes in half and mount an extension in between.
I have published all the documentation in a Github repository. If someone wants to make PCBs, I recommend that you wait a little longer until you receive my PCBs and try them.

@hek The capacitor addition seems to be helping. So far 9 hours and all the values are updating as they should YAY!
I'll continue to monitor but i'm hopeful that this is the solution.
