The Blue Box Mini is our next-generation, field-ready observation unit — a compact, autonomous system designed to run outdoors for long periods and send data directly to the cloud through a 4G uplink. This project is essential for expanding our coverage in Hessdalen and enabling continuous monitoring from multiple locations.

To make this possible, we need contributors with technical experience and a passion for building things. There are many ways to get involved:

• Software development: firmware, data handling, and cloud communication
• Microcontroller work: assembling the core electronics and integrating components
• Sensor integration: light sensors, cameras, environmental sensors, and more
• Power system development: solar panels, battery systems, charging circuits
• Field testing: making sure the unit performs reliably in real outdoor conditions

If you enjoy hands-on building, electronics, coding, or testing hardware in the field, this is a project where your skills can make a direct impact. The goal is simple but important:
Deliver a robust, autonomous Blue Box Mini that can operate anywhere in Hessdalen — and keep the data flowing.
