Well, time for an update.
The power control board was already finished.
The main computer board, processor, fan, new PSU and memory are all purchased.
2 OSes installed on two SSDs and waiting for final assembly.
Logic control board at version 1 (see below).
Gender changer made for ATX power supply.
2 x 7" panels now here and ready for installation.
I'm writing the GUI for the Arduino Due before I can write the software! So that is going to take a few weeks.
Here is the first draft of the control board - It is going to use an Arduino Due pre-assembled board but once it is all up and working I will be looking at merging all three boards onto a single board and using the SAM3X ARM chip directly.
The control board sits in the middle of everything and controls the power board and the not yet designed sensor and IO boards.
I've split the boards up for this process so that I can replace sections of the system until its all working. Once it is all working and the software is written and working I should have a license for Eagle allowing me to make larger boards and I will build one board with everything on and have several PCBs made professionally so that I can use smaller tracks and get stuff tighter.
