getting there ...
Posted 3 Weeks Ago at 10:57 AM by kamondelious
Well I didn't quite get as much time as I'd be thinking I'd might to work on Snoopy today.
I managed to finish the base of the BeagleBoard housing, get brackets on the back for mounting it and most of the work on the lid for the base.
The packing tape I used is super tacky making it hard to work with. The base didn't turn out quite as pretty as I was hoping for, but I think the marks/lines give it more character. Hopefully I don't boff the lid up when I tape it.
It's funny how flimsy looking this container seems, but it's been holding up well under some simple stress load tests. Like letting Snoopy sit on it. Once I finish the lid and the 2 pieces are together, it should safely house the BeagleBoard from the inevitable falls that will take place when he's up and walking.
With any luck I will be able to get the last of this sorted out and mounted tomorrow after work. I'll be sure and post some pics of the final work.
Cheers!
