Design Considerations
Things we have decided
- Free-Standing Kiosk that reflects w-l
- One Burner
- Cheaper, easier, software doesn't support 2
Decisions we have to make
- How will we update?
- Auto-update?
- Alex is reluctant, says it is MUCHO work.
- Sam Disagrees, says it is necessary for future of FT.
- CD Burning: Set or Checklist?
- Alex says one set iso, says it is easier. Edit of Open Disc.
- Sam would like to see a choice for the user. Many different isos or Iso compiler.
- What os?
- Auto-update?
Requirements:
- Answer the question: "What do you want the machine to do?" TASKS
- work with a touchscreen,
- connect to WiFi, and
- runs the kiosk software.
- What OS do you want to use?
- What kind of hardware is supported for that OS?
- Determine all component properties you'll need: hard drive size, CPU speed, e.g.
- Comparison shop components (document shopping process with links)
- Order components
- Build machine
- Install OS
- Test machine hardware (benchmark if necessary)
- Software dev and testing for TASKS
- burn CD/DVDs,
- work with a touchscreen,
- connect to WiFi, and
- runs the kiosk software.
Ideas Supplies to acquire (for prototype):
Design
- [1]
- Software?
- Which distro of Linux to run?
- Ubuntu
- Update: Debian is run by alex's server because ubuntu would not install on his machine. Should the production model use debian or ubuntu?
- Compatibility with the hardware
- Touchscreen
- Network adapter (esp. wifi)
- Reliability
- Uptime
- Lifespan
- Warranties
- Which distro of Linux to run?
- Hardware specs*
- CD/DVD burner
Content
- What should we distribute?
- Prototype version (as of 1-8-2009)
- Ubuntu 8.04
- OpenDisk (Windows programs
- Prototype version (as of 1-8-2009)
