The correct instructions for how to put the control box together were received this week and the control box was assembled. The two control sticks control the forward and backward motion of the sea perch. The two buttons sticking out of the front of the box control the up and down motion, one spinning the motor forward and one spinning it backward. The little box in the middle is the fuse that we thought we needed to find. The black box is the Ethernet port. Upon completing the control box, it was found that there was a problem with the soldering, so a volt meter was used to find where the break was in the circuit. We found that the problem was the soldering of the ground wire, so that was a very simple fix. After that, the board was tested and moved the motors according to the plan.
