SICK Spider

A new board design for the amazing COATI Spider project, a small portable device for simultaneous interpretation.

Changes compared to the COATI spider

• way less noise
• battery level indicator
• better gain control range
• USB-C port for power supply
• way longer battery runtime (8-50h)
• easier available components

Costs

• roughly 40€ for a new spider and 20€ for an upgrade board.
• An existing COATI spider case can be reused, only one additional cutout for the USB-C port is required.
