Software installation

1. Today was spent mainly configuring the PC104 stack to function with the various boards. There seems to be some trouble with interrupt configuration - only 4 dedicated interrupt lines are open on the PCM3370 motherboard, which is a problem as a Cardbus adaptor board, USB/IEEE1394 expansion board and both RTD boards are require dedicated interrupts. However, this evening a working configuration seems to have been discovered.

2. Also researched today was the implementation of a Logitech QuickCam Pro4000 webcam into the platform, which should be completed in the coming week.

3. Mechanical design of the chassis is progressing. Materials will be ordered tomorrow (Monday) and machining on the CNC will begin on Tuesday/Wednesday.
