New end cap designed in https://github.com/COAST-Lab/Open-Water-Level/commit/88754392173e74e9530ac1191b0084599ffcc6ce. See https://github.com/COAST-Lab/Open-Water-Level/tree/main/Enclosure/PVC-End-Caps for files. Top end cap still does not have and will (likely need):

Design for 4 of 6 holes in https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/product-files/5367/5367_Voltaic+Systems+P105+R7D.pdf.

  1. Side of end-cap parallel to short side of panel is 133.2 mm between holes and 2 x 7.4 mm to edge = 148 mm.
  2. Side of end-cap parallel to long side of panel is intended to accommodate two of three mounting holes on both sides. The distance required to cover the two holes is 103.6 mm between holes and 2 x 7.9 mm = 119.4 mm. This edge is on the hypotenuse of a 30-60-90 triangle. The sketched side is adjacent to the 30º angle. Therefore, that side measures 119.4 mm x cos(30º) = 103.4 mm.
