The key with this particular project was to maintain the exacting performance of the controller whilst simultaneously reducing the weight of the controller from 13g down to 7g. There were some obvious changes that could be made to the design to assist with this such as removing connectors and similar components. By replacing these with simple solder pads it was possible to remove all connectors.
On top of this additional steps were taken to reduce the mass of the controller. These include;
Removing the onboard potentiometer.
Radiusing the edges of the board to further reduce board mass.
Developing a range of programmes to provide the customer with the flexibility to make changes as required.
