The Launch Tower Computer III (LTC3) team has begun work on a design doc. To get the ball rolling, I'd like to hear what people do and do not like about the current launch tower computer (LTC2). Note that we're talking strictly about the hardware (the SBC and its peripherals).
A very brief starter list (feel free to mangle): Good ---- * Powerful (for our purposes) off-the-shelf SBC. * Most I/O travels over USB. Software development does not require an identical SBC, but rather can take place on any system equipped with USB and a comparable Phidgets kit. Bad --- * Most I/O travels over USB. Not-so-robust connectors; bulky cables. * Phidgets. Expensive, fiddly, and require their own interface board Their software stack is thick and troublesome to install. * So many cables and wires... The insides of the enclosure are quite busy. -- Paul Mullen _______________________________________________ psas-avionics mailing list psas-avionics@lists.psas.pdx.edu http://lists.psas.pdx.edu/mailman/listinfo/psas-avionics
