Rolling War Machine

The RCJ40-D five-band jammer

What all is required of a modern rolling war machine?

Chassis/Propulsion

• We use the wheeled HAF 932 case.
• How do we make it move?
  • Where do we want it to go?

Power Plant

ummm....

Sensing

• Interconnect: Phidget 1018 8/8/8 interface kit
  • 8 analog inputs, 8 digital outputs, 8 digital inputs
  • Data and power via USB-B.
• Object localization: MaxBotix EZ-1 Sonar
• Ambiance: Phidget 1125 Humidity/Temperature sensor, Phidget 1133 sound sensor (or better yet, get a good microphone)
• Motion: PhidgetSpatial 1056 3/3/3 compass/gyroscope/accelerometer
  • Also 3-dimensional magnetic sensor
  • Connects via USB, not analog sensor cable

Electromagnetics

FIXME: Need detail antennae; obviously, we won't be using overmuch off-the-shelf...

• Ionizing radiation: SparkFun SEN-09848 USB Geiger counter using ATMega328/ BlackCat Systems GM-45
  • Gamma: Black Cat Systems GM-50 (long; 9.5" enclosure!)
• Visible light: Phidget 1056 light sensor, Logitech C310 720p camera
• IR: MosChip Semiconductor MCS7780 4Mbps Fast IrDA
• Microwave: 2.4GHz IEEE802.11 b/g/n, 3.7GHz IEEE802.11y-2008, 5GHz IEEE802.11 a/n, Cambridge Silicon Radio Bluetooth
  • L1/L2 (1575.42MHz and 1227.60MHz): some GPS device
  • L3/L5:
• RF: 13.56MHz (RFID)/NFC: ACR122U R/W from http://buynfctags.com, OpenPCD for longrange skimming (read-only)
• RF: 900MHz ISM (RFID): DLP-RFID-UHF1B R/W from DigiKey

Jamming

• GPS/microwave ISM: SleuthTek?
• RCJ40-D

Block interfaces

• Flash: IOGear GFR 281 "56-in-1" reader/writer
• eSATA

Character interfaces

• Magstripe: Tyner MSR* reader/encoder

Weaponry

• General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products (GDATP) MK47 MOD 0 "Striker" 40mm grenade launcher? 38lbs empty!!
  • Where to purchase?
