Eric,
Having a hard time visualizing this box. Got a picture or
drawing to look at?

From: xylo-sdr-bounces@lists.ae5k.us [mailto:xylo-sdr-bounces@lists.ae5k.us] On Behalf Of Eric Ellison Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2006 12:24 AM To: 'Xylo-SDR Discussion' Subject: [Xylo-SDR] NRFC - (No Request For Comment) Folks Phil, and Cecil thanks for the
extensive RFC. I will have an enclosure and design based on your earlier
comments, perhaps it will become a ‘product’ in itself. This is more within my
capability as a contributor. Youse guys should go back to
producing circuits to go in the ‘box’. My
plan: Enclosure and motherboard based on
Euro or VME standard buss structure 96 lines including 3 powers and ground,
triplicate pin assignments removing 12 pins from
96. Enclosure construction with vertical
and horizontal card slides. Design project board real estate
will be standard EuroBus 100 mm (3.9x inch) width horizontally mounted on slides
with a 2 inch depth (2”x4” inches) Case depth will probably be 6 inches
with 2 boards mounted vertically in the rear to mount larger components to
support power and modules like GPS rcvrs (TBD) Height still to be
determined. Target price for enclosure and
backplane minus active components is < $50 Have at it. Anyone up to desiging a
Cyclone II heartbeat with FX2 USB, I2C, Serial port front mounted on 3.9”
??? Eric |
