Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Get a Zotac installed in the Robot such that it can run the robot.
1. make power connector
  a. find a barrel power connector for Zotac.
  b. correct DC-DC out put to 19v.
2. Look for a solid state drive to replace the current hard drive.
3. Find out how much force the current hard drive can withstand in operation
4. run Ethernet cable down boom
5. establish remote connection to Zotac.

We will need to get solid state drives.

32GB SATA II SSD

Vibration: 20G. Peak, 10 ~ 20KHz 
http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-onyx-series-sata-ii-2-5-ssd.html

Price: $65.00

32GB should be enough, but for $30 more we could get a 64GB SATA III drive.

I am not seeing a clear path for the Ethernet cable to enter into the Zotac 
enclosure. I will need to talk to Jesse about possibly drilling a hole in the 
cover of the DC-DC converter.

DC-DC converter now outputs 19v. I had to put a 4.02K resistor at R1.

Once you have identified the hard drive you'd like, as well as the connector 
you need or any other items, compile them all as links in an Email, and send it 
to me.  I'll forward it to Derek Davis, and he will place the order. 

Alternatively, you can bring a laptop to the MIME front office, and with my 
prior approval, get Derek to enter the credit card information to place the 
order. 

Make sure to get a large enough drive so you are sure you won't have any space 
problems, even if there's a buffer for logged data and the wireless connection 
is slow.  Also get a high-quality, reliable drive.  Time spent debugging is 
worth far more than the cost of a more-expensive drive.  Also, buy two so we 
have at least one spare.

Zotac is installed, and wireless control works.
