Also included in this section are the sensors that will be needed to create the table state estimation. The common distributors for this area that the research group has looked into includes Sparkfun Electronics, ServoCity, McMaster, AndyMark, US Digital and some local distributors like Skycraft and used parts from Amazon or Ebay. The primary deciding factor in the acquisition decision is the price, since it has been decided that used parts will be acceptable for this prototype setup. Table 6.2.2: Necessary electronic components and the sources to acquire them from. Luckily a number of the electronic parts have been donated or are already owned by the group. These electronics will not be included in the acquisition plan. A summary is in Table 6.2.2. RCB Parts Acquisition The custom made PCB for this project, called the Rod Control Board (RCB), will require a number of subcomponents that will be soldered to a printed silicon board that will be ordered from 4PCB with a student discount to make it within the budget of the project. The board will be designed using the Eagle software before sent to 4PCB. The board is made up of 26 separate types of components which will all be soldered to the board. The 26 parts can be seen in the bill of material and will all be acquired through Sparkfun during the first week of the Spring Semester so that breadboard based prototyping may begin quickly. 6.2 BOM Below is the Bill of Materials for the project. The first table is the BOM for everything except the RCB parts, and the table after that considers only the RCB. Design Subsystem Decision Cost Quantity Total Cost Acquired Our Cost
