A project log for Computer Lab Box

This Lab contains all important tools used for developing on embedded PCs without the need to have the board next to you.

The fifth part for the Computer Lab Box is to build the box itself. The Ikea KNAGGLIG wooden box has the optimal size for four slide-in modules. Every module is an aluminum perforated plate. The size and the distance of the holes on the module are arranged in that way that I can mount all mini-PCs (Raspi., BBB, power-switcher, …) with at least two screws on it. Unfortunately, my local electronics supplier didn’t have enough cables and spacer sleeves for me to finish the inner life of the box. I will finish everything soon.

ad Part 1: I found out that my USB-micro Cable was too thin and too long for the main computer (Raspi 3). I have to find a thicker cable, then I can use the OTB charging adapter for all my modules in the box.
