Jan 9th Journal Entry #2
So far I’ve ordered 2 new cables online because the cables that came with the underwater robot are far too short to run from the control box to the front of the underwater robot. I ordered a new 30 foot 5.5mm DC power cable and a 30 foot video cable. I first printed a T pipe for an adapter so the acrylic tube would fit snug. I then realized that in order to wire the camera I would have to turn the heads of the cables around the small corners. I could not do this so I split the tube in half on tinker cad and printed it. It works great now but my only suspicion is it leaking if it is not water proofed properly. I will also have to do this with a corner piece as well. I have also made a stabilizer so the camera stays still inside the tube. I am still waiting of the 5.5mm DC power cord.
