The project is well on its way, and I have some updates for all of you!
First of all, let’s start with the good things, and that is that the boat structure has been successfully 3d printed and is waterproof. Yaay. The arduino as well as all the batteries and breadboard fit comfortably on the structure so the sizing was correct (for the most part).
There is a few things I need to tackle which I realized during the user testing. Firstly, the fan that I have is not strong enough to move the boat, I will need to find, or make a bigger and better one. The boats construction also needs some styrofoam on the bottom since the boat is too heavy to float, as seen in the video below.
Over the next two days I want to solve the problem with the floating and the movement on the boat so I can leave the controls for the last day.
Hopefully everything works out fine!
