I've used ITOX Mini-ITX motherboards in some EIED Online projects (see Car PC, Part 2: The Mini-ITX PC) with much success. These and more were on display at Boston ESC including the G5C900-B (see Long Life For COM Express) COM Express (see COM Express: A New Standard) module and the new CT930-B Embedded Compact Extended (ECX) single board computer (SBC). They are part of ITOX's Long-Life product line. The CT930-B SBC utilizes Intel's 945GM Express mobile chipset so the board can handle an Intel Core Duo processor, Core Solo processor, and Celeron M processors plus up to 2Gbytes of DDR-2 memory. Peripherals include a PCI-Express-based Gigabit Ethernet port, dual SATA ports, an Ultra ATA 100 IDE controller, a CompactFlash socket, a pair of USB 2.0 ports, 1 internal and 1 external serial port, VGA and TV outputs, dual-channel LVDS panel interface and 5.1 channel audio support. The expansion board plugs into the top of the CT930-B and adds a DVI connector, a miniPCI slot and two more USB 2.0 ports. Related Links ITOX

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
