still waiting on the camera but I have a question for everyone. Is 2 wires from the cat5e cable enough to run the video feed from the camera threw? Im wondering because i am already having trouble with the lights flickering when I first make a connection to any of the thrusters. Maybe I should have the thusters on thier own power cable and the camera and lights on another?

Trying to keep the tether as thin as possible.
thanks guys.

another test dive and i found a few leaks, and fried some relays. oh well. Camera arrived today so I will start hooking that up this weekend aswell.

I would recommend a separate power source for the camera, lights, and thrusters. Internal power seems to be a good route unless you have the wires for tether. A capacitor might fix the light issue and keep the power constant to the lights.

Also what relays are you using?

so i wired capacitors in but the lights still go out when the motors are turned on, actually when it is underwater they stay out.

anyone know what size capacitors i should be using???
