idXR.010 specifications served up. Deeply satisfying making these technologies. This time I made a break out assembly for a Raspberry Pi 2. Also with the same footprint as the Raspberry Pi 3. There will probably be a second revision of the PCB to enlarge some holes and remove or re-position a port.
Today I finished the RPi 3 shield station prototype. Designed it, built it and the system works right from power-up. All the sensors were loaded and came online. The unit was booted with the Linux prompt to support the code for various sensors. The station is also driving each separate module developed so far as well. It’s also network aware at this location’s WiFi.
At some point, there will be a separate Arduino version of the station, but next up is the ‘universal’ power supply. Then the cooling module, and on over to additional planned modules for integration.
