The embedded Linux PC is located in the middle of the robot, under the Edimax
wireless router. Its maintenance is equivalent to a standard PC station.
The main problem can be due to the accumulation of dust in the internal components,
so it acts as thermal insulator. The heat generated by the components cannot be well
dissipated because it is trapped in the dust layer.
The oil and grease particles contained in the environmental air mix with the dust,
creating thus a big insulation layer that reflexes the heat to other components. This
effect causes a reduction of the system useful life. On the other hand, the dust
contain conductive particles that can generate shortcircuits throughout the circuit
boards or the peripheral cards.
The best way to extend the life of the equipment and make it free of reparations for
many years is to clean it and remove the dust frequently.
