The Intelli-Post, the electronic timing and scoring device will be made the same way an aluminium bodied torch is.
Starting with a standard extruded aluminium tube, slots for the control panel / led arrays will be laser cut.
An internal thread will then be milled into each end to allow the fitting of removable end caps.
The end caps can be injection moulded. One of the end caps will have input buttons on the top (on/off/mode). The other end cap will have the Bluetooth connect button as this is a seldom used control.
The electronics can be inserted into the tube along with a battery pack.
For ease of use and simplification of controls the unit could be programmed by a smart phone or computer app. The addition of time up and down buttons could also allow for programming at the unit to avoid needing an app when the device is used purely as an exercise timer.
