The internals of the AUV performed the heavy work of actually taking water quality measurements and controlling the submersible's buoyancy. Evidently, it also required a sophisticated mechanical design to fit the necessary components into the confined...
Assemble electronics from schematic. I reccommend laying everything out first, and then soldering components. Be wary of busses that are tied together on the Proto board.
This was the easiest part according to me. Added in the arduino board first then the mini breadboard that the sound sensor and the OLED display were attached to. I used glue gun to secure everything in place. Then I gave the box a makeover. In the future,...
Wiring it up:Here is how everything is wired up:And a photo:I used a messy combination of soldering to header pins and jumper wires inserted into the breadboard. I also slightly overlapped the two boards to get everything to fit nicely.I used a rotary...
If you're happy with the whole experience (i.e. wires are long enough, response time is good, speakers stay on for how long you want, etc) it's time to connect everything together! I find soldering a lot of fun so it's one of my favourite parts...
Charge and connect the remote to make sure everything is working properly. Be sure to press on the throttle slowly to so you can make sure you wired the sensor wires correctly if they begin to spin up then stop let go of the throttle and check your wiring....
It's a great idea to first layout the design on a breadboard to make sure everything works.To test an entire cycle to can modify the changeColor() function call and feed it a continually changing parameter(a for loop is enough).If you plan on keeping...
