Re: Base Plate for Electronics Board Assembly

CHS,
I am going to add something at this point (for you and any rookies listening). The Crio case is electrically connected to the negative lead of the battery. Therefore the Crio case must be electrically isolated from the robot frame. Lexan makes this easy as Lexan is an electrical insulator. We use punched aluminum sheet and tywraps to secure electronics to the sheet. The sheet can be mounted with pop rivets and a small piece of lexan under the Crio will then provide the electrical isolation.
