NETWORK HUTT

Finally getting some time to work on this more. I have been busy. I am looking to source the "face plate" covers for the inside of the case. I was going to print them but my MKrBot can only span about half of the length of the inside dimensions of the case. I believe I will mockup the face plates in thin wood to position and figure out mounting. Then once done can find a CNC machine to cut the final.

On with the build so I am using as the main brain a Asus Zenbook 2017. For ease (and because I have a lot of Win Forensics tools) It is running Win10  May 2020 Update is that it includes the Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2). The flat screen for inside the case runs off just the usb-c on the Zenbook and seems good on power consumption.

I am still loading vm's into the new VMware Workstation 16 (darkmode default FTW). I will soon have the kids flashing the SD cards for the Raspberry Pi's :) . I am debating the pros and cons of putting a small passive hub (no/low power) to link all the components with an OS/ni to be a mini network.

and a short video.

Found the Bin o' parts, a pelican case to use, and an old geiger counter I am gonna cannibalize and integrate in to the case

08/18/2020 - Start of project. First I will collect all cables, pi, monitor, keyboards and other peripherals that I use when doing assessments on the road at plants and remote locations. The Hutt is to be designed to cover all the environments and  equipment that I have run across and a few that I just think are cool.
