Tasks Completed

  • Completed mounting of lexan cover over Freescale tower.
  • Rearranged USB cables to plug in from the side instead of over the top. Tested it, but for some strange reason, the freedscale tower controls didn't work correctly when plugged into the "top" USB port on the right hand side. Switched USB locations from top to bottom with the USB hub, and for some reason the tower controls worked. Weird.
  • Completed sketches of knobs for turret and slider in inventor with dimensions.
  • Drilled hole at back of controls to fit power connector for Dell laptop. (blame Jeff)
