The first is working with a local high school on a modified K350 build. I spent the last two month detailing the boat with Autodesk Inventor and now have a pretty complete package of drawings and specs for a modern K-350. The original K-350 plans are fairly basic and required quite a bit of reading between the lines. Changes I made to the original K-350 design were more battery capacity and larger and wider apart battery pods to accommodate, Minn Kota 101 based Kort thrusters like I use for my boat, and totally new electronics including PLC and HMI, full life support including BIBS and added two more viewports. The MBT system has been totally changed. I am using two of Hugh Fulton's pneumatic pancake style valves to blow the MBTs and am using Swagelok 3-Way valves to operate the MBT and VBT. Team is waiting on final budget approval before we pull the trigger on the project. Team has already received $15K in equipment donations.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On the R300, I am in the process of switching control of the compass/pitch/roll sensor which uses RS232 serial communication from an RS232 port on the PLC base to a dedicated PLC coprocessor. I have had some intermittency issues with this sensor over the years and I am trying this to see if this solves the problem. What I really need is an O Scope that has RS232 investigation feature. With the work on the K-350 project, I have just not had any spare time on my boat. Hope to rectify that shortly. Got a consulting job I have to knock out next week in Oklahoma City then I am free for the rest of the year to play with psubs.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Regards<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Cliff<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Thu, Nov 3, 2016 at 3:15 PM, Alan James via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div id="m_-9087867297788367062yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1478154411107_15500"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"helveticaneue","serif";color:black'>Thanks Cliff,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"helveticaneue","serif";color:black'>no doubt I'll have more questions when I start<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"helveticaneue","serif";color:black'>trying to nail down what PLC, HMI & software.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"helveticaneue","serif";color:black'>Have just ordered 2 of those digital to 0-5V converters<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"helveticaneue","serif";color:black'>for my remote system.
