Falstaff Assembly
August 28th, 2006 by Adam
Brian Piquette (Synapse) and Ian MacDuff (Exbiblio) of our hardware team have provided the following photos of the bits and pieces of Falstaff coming together. Thanks guys!
Sensor Board: CMOS Image Sensor and Illumination LEDs.
This is the image sensor PCB. This PCB holds the CMOS sensor and the white illumination LEDs. It sits in the enclosure perpendicular to the long axis of the device, which points the sensor out the front of the unit.
Sensor Board with Lens Holder
The image below shows the sensor PCB with the milled plastic lens holder. The lens will screw into this plastic frame.
Sensor PCB mated with other PCBs in enclosure.
The PCB visible behind the Sensor PCB si the Main PCB. The Main PCB contains the processing core of the Falstaff unit. It has the ARM9 Processor, Flash and SDRAM.
Button PCB and Main PCB
The Button PCB (top) has the power supply, user interface (buttons and LEDs) and the interface between the sensor board and the main board.
