Re: Battery powered raspberry pi

So... ...I want to have a laptop or some such that has an integral battery that could stay alive during the power cycles on the robot and could also be a USB host for the Arduino(s) that are counting pulses and also act as a bridge from USB on the Arduino(s) to the some ethernet protocol (UDP I suppose?) to get data to the cRIO.
I think you are getting more complicated than the original problem of make a good mount for your transducer. I would only go down that road for a set of really good reasons.
