Week 7-8 Progress Update

During our scheduled lab time this week, we completed multiple tasks. First we completed the soldering of the wires to the three switches which would control the motors of our submersible. After this, two members of our group started to zip-tie all the wires to the chassis of our submersible in an orderly fashion. They also began to designate which grouping of two motors would be controlled by which switch. While this was going on, the other two group members began the construction of our control board in which the switches would be placed and the movement of our submersible would be controlled. During our midweek meeting, we plan on furthering the construction of the control board as well as completing the wiring.

Below is a picture of the beginning of the construction of the control board.  In this picture, the holes for the switches are being drilled.
