{% include note.html text="The baseline design is meant to be assembled by anyone with a basic knowledge of electronics, computers, and astronomy, and a taste for building things/tinkering. There is no need to machine parts, and only standard tools are required (you will need a drill, screwdrivers, voltmeter). All electronics are readily available, and only need to be mounted and wired together.
Please note, however, that some components do require the use of basic hand tools and electrical wiring. Always use caution when dealing directly with a PANOPTES unit." %}
The instructions linked below are still in development and should be considered to be at a beta level of readiness. We will be updating these constantly as we build units and get feedback from the first generation of builders. Please Contact Us if you would like to build a unit and we will help you decide how to proceed.
