MOC Update - Vertical Generator


 This is where we started

This is where we ended up.

Yes they are the same for the outside.  To be fair, here is where we actually started.

The two on the side are the old controller and the power supply.  With the new Brick Buddy 3, the controller is smaller and the power supply is included.  The Vertical Generator was the easiest to upgrade.  

This is what it looked like originally underneath.  There was a lot of room in it.  This is now what it looks like.

I moved the motor for more front to back space, though probably did not need it.  Changed out the dual white LEDs for RGBW LEDs.  The plan here is to turn on the White LED at about 50%.  Then one side will randomly pulse RED and BLUE while the other side does BLUE and GREEN.  Also I can get to the USB MINI connector from the bottom.  Thus when I need to update the script, I can.

Here it is with most of the top covering installed.  Two other changes were to make the tower removable.  The two LEDs in the tower are now on a connector and the tower is design to be easily removable.  The Sand Blue platform was changed to also be easily removable.  That will enable an easy way to do firmware upgrades until I can get the Bootloader working.

Finally the power is supplied by the standard connector I am using through out the Space Base.

You can just see the white connector on the bottom.
