NI has a sbRIO ready and waiting for me. They just need to test it and then they will ship it to me. Hurray!!
Today was a big day. Cut the aluminum pieces for the cart. We only had 2” aluminum angle, so we carefully cut one leg off to get a 2” wide strip. It isn’t perfect (kind of ugly) but it worked and I didn’t have to buy another piece of aluminum. Drilled a bunch of holes with a drill press. I learned I am not very good at using a drill press. Most of my holes were not centered, even after using a punch to mark where they were supposed to be. After a little rework got everything good enough to put it all together. The cart looks ugly, but it will do the job. I’m not running a beauty pageant, after all.
