Assembling
The software is tested on an x86 platform with serial ports, and an arduino connected via USB.
Resistor Board - A custom resistor PCB V2XX schematic - Electrical overview schematic for control box wiring.
Enclosure Preparation: custom enclosures are fitted with female Neutrik connector ports for power, GPS, horn, cam power, RFID, and PSI as well as VGA, Ethernet and two USB ports. The motherboard mounting plate is secured using four rubber grommets to reduce vibration. Other exterior components include power button, "power" and "on" LEDs and rubber feet.
Internal Assembly: Main power/ground in is wired to PSU along with with internally mounted 12V battery. Regulated power out of PSU is connected to motherboard power in and, via relay, to terminal blocks which supply exterior sensors with power. The relay switches off power to external sensors when the hard drive power is off to prevent battery drainage. Arduino is soldered to FTDI chip (USB to serial device) and connected via sub assembly to custom resistor PCB. Ram and SSD (mini SATA) are installed on motherboard as well as RFID and PSI signal lines (connected to serial ports via sub assembly.) External ports are connected to motherboard ports using shorty USB, CAT5, and VGA cables. Main storage drive is removable/exchangeable using ICY dock device tray.
