| Mechanical Digital to Synchro Converter - Test Assembly |
Made lots of little tweaks to the individual parts and did a test assemble of some of the components. Eventually the entire assembly will be held together by four rods. Right now, I did a test assembly of the connector plate, the stepper motor plate, the synchro transformer plate and then the section that hold the electronics. Yep, those are cable ties holding the pieces together right now; however, I did this just to double check the sizing of the spacers and to make sure that the gear mechanism lines up.

The image below shows the basic Beagle Bone Black in the the rear section of the design. There will actually be a cape on the Beagle that will handle the Stepper motor.

The images show the center core with the Synchro Transformer not yet assembled. I will try to get some rods over the next few days and then put the entire design together and cable it.

So far I am about $86 into this effort. Really want to keep it below $100 if possible. The most expensive part, so far, was the Beagle. Maybe in future iterations I go with a RaPi, but, actually both the BBB and the RaPi are a bit of an overkill for this.
