NEW POWER BUTTON: THOSE LITTLE THINGS

Well, ever since I started writing this blog and about ITINERA, I always said that it is a "handmade" robot. But somethings in the robot are too "handmade",  you know what I mean?

Let me put an example:

Yeah... that was the power switch of the robot, it was not a "handmade" job, it was a clumsy job (shame on me xD). So I decided to fix it.

I took a fancy power switch from an old computer, a couple of LEDs and attached it to the structure of the robot.

Then connected the power switch to the PC's mother board and one of the LEDs to the Power LED bay. The other LED is connected to the  motor's power source to indicate whether it is ON or OFF.

This is the result:

Looks much better :D
