Hacky sack? Date: 15-Apr-2002  7:28pm
[3] The hacky sack isn't vital for correct operation, but it is vital for any gathering of friends in the sun.
[4] The circuit board on the left is my custom designed/printed power supply - this supplies all the various voltages required for a PC, without converting up to 230V (that's just wasteful!) It also allows a 2nd back-up battery to power the PC.
[5] The circuit board is another custom board, containing 2 microcontrollers (to monitor the user-interface knobs, and talk to the GPS, and send all this info back to the computer). They also make a mini disco in the boot by flashing lights (pretty much randomly with my dodgy firmware!)
