    good afternoon

    I'm currently mounting my platform

    to save space I wanted to mount the pc on the movement platform, the set of axles is one SFX, one front and two rear

    The pc will install it with an ssd due to vibrations

    Have any of you mounted it on the platform?
    Will the computer resist vibrations?

    The motor controllers will be mounted under the seat, I imagine that being only electronic there will be no problem with them

    Thank you

    I don't think it a good idea to unnecessarily subject a computer to the type of fast motion vibrations our rigs produce, not just because of the drive, but also the wear on any type of connection.

    I understand that the peripherals that we install on the platform carry electronic components

    The PC that I want to install will remove everything mechanical to avoid vibrations, I will define a smooth profile, avoiding sudden movements

    I currently have the monitor on the platform with movement

    Cheers
