Nexgen: CANaerospace: RSS: C-3436A Radio: Build i

This is a how-to I build a typical node, this will show you my methodology. You will need to gather your goodies. In this case, I will need the following: ( this is a complication of the Info, Manufac, Category tables the only thing not included is the Quantity column.)

Product Name	Quan	My Part Number	Manufacture	Part Number
Enclosure, Polycarb	1	104-00001-00	Nam Ngai Hong	605RS
Arduino Mega	1	35-00002-00	Arduino	Mega 256 R3
"    "  Mount	1	95-00001-00	Arvan	MegaMount
Module Relay, TTL interface	1	35-00005-00	Wood Electric
Module Breakout, RJ45, dual	1	26-00022-00	MDFLY Electronics	MOL-DB0029
Module, Interface, CAN bus	1	39-00001-00	YKS Electronics	ZC209600
Connector, Din, Female, 5 pins	1	26-0023-00	CUI devices	SD-50SN
Connector, DB-25, Female, Wire Wrap Tails	1	26-00021-00	Chinch	DB25S-F179
Bolts 4-40 x 1/2"	4	18-00003-00	Keystone Electronics	9329
Nuts 4-40	4	18-00009-00	Keystone Electronics
Washer, Star with Internal Teeth	4	18-00008-00	Keystone Electronics	11362-5
Screws, Self Tap. (for Arduino Mount)	4	18-0000x-00
Front Panel Rear Panel * Please note that the large round hole was a booboo.

• • The first job
    is to drill and cut all the holes for the front panel and the four mounting holes for the 4-40 screws which secure the mount to the case.
  • The second job
    is to drill, route the two holes with Rotozip bits on the drill, this is for the DB-25 mounting plates (which I may or not need).
  • Then I need
    two (2) # 6 holes and taped on the front and the rear of the lid, to hold it to the case. Next is a spritz of the red paint on the front panel only this is the only thing that shows.
  • The next thing is to Wire-Wrap connectors J1, J2, J3 to the DB-25s. Then test the output of the frequency switches via the USB terminal.
  • The next this is to Wire-Wrap the CAN bus and Relay Modules.
  • Then wire the output of the CAN module to the RJ-45 module.
  • Lastly bringing 5vdc, 12vdc, and ground from the DIN5 Connector is for two functions 1. power to the Arduino and 12volt power for the Lamps via the relay.
  • Now to write some software!!!
    • Send a properly formatted message to the USB terminal.
    • Receive a request for status (heartbeat)
    • Future integration with Node -0
