Working drill on Reeling system

We connected the reeling system PVC pipe to the long wires of the drill using connectors and we tested them today.

How did we do it?

1. Firstly, the long wires of the underwater drill is wrapped around a PVC pipe used for the reeling system as shown in the second picture above.

2. We then put the end of the wire of the underwater drill into the PVC pipe and make the wires come out if the PVC pipe at the other end.

3. The wire that came out at the other end will be secured to the blue and black wires of the craft shown in picture 4 in the slide show above.

4. The wires are then secured with a connector as shown in picture 1 in the slideshow above

5. The connectors are placed inside the pvc pipe so that water will not be in contact with the connectors.

6. Picture number 3 is used to ensure the tubing will not turn with the PVC pipe as there is a ball bearing, the 3d printed part will enclose the PVC pipe to prevent water from entering the PVC pipe and onto the connectors.

Here is a video of the Underwater drill working when the connectors are in place inside the pvc pipe, and the wires connected to the arduino board.
