+REDUNDANT - guess this can be dug up from history
-===== The slug =====
-{{ :projects:high_altitude_slug:linksys_nslu2_board.jpg?200|The Linksys NSLU2}}
-The on board computer will be a Linksys NSLU2 network storage device (the "slug"), which is a low power, small and cheap 266MHz XScale platform that runs [[wp>Linux]] natively. It has 32MB of SDRAM, 8MB of flash memory (for OS), a network port, two USB 2.0 ports and a serial port.
-[[wp>CompactFlash]] cards connected via USB will be used as a storage medium. They have no moving parts and will survive heavy impacts.
-We have [[wp>Debian]] Etch running on it slug at the moment.
-It has the [[http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ForcePowerAlwaysOn|force power on modification]], and I will probably remove a resistor to [[http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/OverClockTheSlug|de-underclock it]] at some point.
-===== I/O =====
-For all I/O tasks, we will use an [[http://www.arduino.cc/|Arduino]] board, which is based around an Atmel chip. It has a built in USB-serial adaptor. It has various analogue inputs and digital in/outputs, which can also produce PWM signals for servos.
