Build an add-on

Draft outline

Scaffold. Replace the bullet prompts with your own text and delete this banner when done.

How to design a new hardware add-on for the FRAME. The objective holder is a strong worked example (kinematic mount, autocollimator alignment, published CAD) — mirror its structure.

Mounting interface​

  • Where and how add-ons attach; dimensions/tolerances; CAD conventions.

Alignment and kinematics​

  • Kinematic (3-point) mounting so a plane stays parallel to the sensor; alignment tools (autocollimator / collimator eyepiece).

Electronics (if any)​

Software integration (if any)​

Publish it​

  • Provide CAD (STP/STEP), a photo, and a short usage note; add it to the add-ons catalog.
