HI ALL
When i put video up of digital piston tank controller the pro-to type was built on vero board to get the unit to work, PCB board is being designed at the moment and it will be all surface mounted component's which means that the board will come out quite small in size. One of the other units that i have been designing is called a water switch idea is when you put the sub in the water there will be two small electrodes that when touch the water it will switch the sub on and when you take it out of the water it switches off. The circuit works on AC voltage which is to stop the electrodes from corroding which would happen if you use DC, the other unit that i have designed is a high powered BEC circuit which can give you 5Volts or you can select 6Volts will work up to 40Volts on input, unit is quite small in size this will all so work with water switch so when water switch is on it will switch on the BEC which will run your radio gear and what ever else. Water switch will switch on power to speed controllers and so on and water switch has all so go test switch so you can test the sub on the bench with out having to put it in the water.
I am trying to find out how much interest there is in the above units before i start to make them, when the PCB board has been finished designed for the piston tank control unit will do a video of all the units working on the bench together
All the best John
