Safe and Sound Post#7 (Let there be power)
Unfortunately I still haven't received my temperature sensors, so I am unable to fully assemble the suit. I have the carbon fiber sewn into the suit and ready to be tested. This past week I have wired the computer to the power switch and ran all the wires required to power the suit. I used alligator clips to connect the wires to the carbon fiber, this will also act as a quick connect/disconnect. It will also act as a safety if something should go wrong. I am also going to wire in an override, so if the computer should fail the suit will be useable. This is an absolute requirement, if the suit shuts down it could be the difference of life and death.
Below are pictures of the computer hooked up to the switch and powered:
In the picture below the temperature has a negative number, this is due to not being connected to the temperature sensors. It does show the switch has power on to all 6 connections trying to send power to the carbon fiber.
Thank you
