New Keypad
New keypad also needed a PCB redesign.
RFID Cutout
RFID Cutout
Previous design did not allow RFID use with door closed. Will have a clear covering to allow it and protect the RFID.
Pi Mounting

Journey Electronics work on the system enclosure (box) is compete and out for quote and then get the PO off then production.
We also have all the carry cases for the kits. Black branded (Sticker Heist logo) tactical bags to hold everything.
Initial testing of new Arduino code base is done.
Except more code testing and creating new easy, medium and hard mode system images.

Part of the Sticker Heist Kit is a laptop. We've been installing and configuring these for the October event.
These Lenovo IdeaPad 1i (14” Intel) Laptop's get Linux Mint XFCE (or Fedora Security lab based on the WiFi chipset).
Reference documents, and few apps (nmap, dirb, Wireshark) that are used in the heist.
