This week was not very eventful in comparison to the previous weeks. Programming and waterproofing the submarine are still works in progress. As mentioned in the previous post, we were able to fully control the motors with a tank control scheme. However, things are at a stop at the moment as the items we ordered have not arrived yet.
What we have ordered are items that will be mainly used for waterproofing the submarine. We ordered an Ethernet waterproof plug. We also ordered a gland, which is a device that prevents "leakage of fluid along a rotating shaft." A gyroscope was also ordered, and with it we plan on using it to help orientate the sub underwater.
Like I said, nothing much happened during Week 4, but hopefully most of the materials we ordered will come in during Week 5 so we can get back to working on our goals.
