[edit] Internal Wires and Connectors
The main goal of the wiring for Bearacuda is to make it as simple as possible to safely and correctly connect the various electronic components by current and future members of ARVP.
To achieve this, the following steps will be taken:
- Label wires
- Wires have been labelled with numbers. Later on they will be properly labelled with words and descriptions.
- Colour coded connectors
- Coloured connectors have been used to visual show which connectors are meant to be attached together. In addition, when there are two or more connectors needed, they are arranged in a unique way so that only they will fit together. Combined with the specific colours, it is very difficult to hook up the components incorrectly.
[edit] Underwater Cables
Subconn wet mateable electrical connectors were used to make the cables that connect the thrusters and the battery hulls to the endcap.
Scotchcast insulating resin was used to waterproof the parts of the cables that had been spliced.
