maybe run an a/c generator on the surface, send a/c current down the teather then use an inverter to turn it to d/c??

I never knew such a place existed, well atleast thats local to me anyways. I migh just have to go for a visit some day.

Bit of a revival..... I might actually be able to get this design built. Im ordreing a 3d printer in the next week and plan on printing out the parts and seeing how things go. I may have to print then investment cast the parts to get the strength I need, but its the only way I would be able to affor...

I was working on a project that required some parts fabricated and the topic of 3d printing and investment casting came up. Having done some investment casting I was curious about how well this would work out so I located a local printer to run some samples. I had seen some 3d printed parts in the p...

I was under the impression that the servo library did that for you???

OK I get it now, just run the example programm and it prints out the values on which input... Didnt need the big hammer after all.

Thanks derelicte, Ill keep poking around with it until I figure it out. And if that doesnt work Ill beat it out of it with a big hammer LOL.

I doubt anyone can answer that question. It depends on the turbidity of the water (suspended solids) and the higher the NTU's the less light will penitrate and more light could be reflected back twards you making high power lights at times less desireable than a low power light.

Is there a way to open the library so I can see what the buttons and such are named in the ps2 library? Like I said I'm new to programming and have no clue... Edit, midnight 10-9-12 Ok I think I found it in the keywords file folder, Man this sucks!! I should spend more time learning how to programm ...

Found this link on the web, great explanation on tank steering controll with one stick.... http://home.kendra.com/mauser/Joystick.html Like I said im not a computer person but I think this could be made to work. Im coping and pasting some code from the arduino forum..... int joyPin1 = 4; // slider v...
