The planned electronics that will become part of Thor.
Through advice of Danny I purchased a big enough power supply that can handle both 5V (10 A) and 24V (4 A) This one is €100. This may be overkill but the power supply can be recycled for future projects.
Bottom right was the original Arduino Mega 2560 that I wanted to use as a controller. But again from advice by Danny I went for the Ultrasonics v1.0 (€150). It has all the electronics parts for up to 7 RAMPS (must be bought separate). So no more additional wiring and print board needed for the controller.
Special note for the Parallella processor, that is a 16+2 core processor that kicks ass. This will probably be used in the Thor project when I do image recognition and signal processing.
Now waiting for the RAMPS and the motors to hit my mailbox.
