Submarine Project Update
Phase 1 — Building a Sensor Box
Trying to focus on getting all the necessary parts to build the sensor box. So far I have gotten the camera working with the Pi although at the moment I have a bit of a power issue. My current Pi power supply only gives it 0.5Amps while the camera and the wifi card will need a bit more than that. Order new 2AMP usb hub to compensate for that.
So far the following is working:
Sadly the camera disconnects right after it is detected due to power issues:

Just ordered:
Researching:
- Underwater Pressure sensors
- Water Depth Sensor
If someone could provide some help with the frame, it would be greatly appreciate it, so far I have only though as far as making it out of PVC pipes.
