The VS-2 Embedded Computing System (ECS) is a low power solution that was specially designed to fulfil the VineScout robot requirements. Figure 2 shows the VS-2 ECS power consumption.
Figure 2: VS-2 ECS Power consumption. The VS-2 ECS temperature irradiated by the windows stack was monitored for making sure that the temperature was the within the safety range. A short video can be found here. The max temperature was 40.9C.
Software and firmware
The Linux Stack documentation is composed of two main documents:
