DC to DC converter

I just received my power converter. This power converter converts the voltage I received from a battery to the required voltage for my computer system. I got it on eBay for quite a deal is only take a couple more months to come when he does this kind of price. It is Buck Module 24V 12V 9V 5V DC to DC 4V-38V to 1.25V-36V 5A Step Down Power Supply (Click)





I'm in the process of creating a printable mount when I am finished you can get a link to the printable design here 123D or STL will be a available shortly.


Here is the measurements if you want to make your own mount.

Some needed modifications

IMG_2965.JPG (3000×4000)With preparations for the buoyancy test has had some modifications. I'm not finished these mods, what I am doing as rearranging the different layers seen in my sketch. My computer system is now going to be near the top of the submarine in my solenoid valves will be as far away as I can get them; at the bottom of the submarine. I have extended my frame another 11 inches in order to accomplish that in my weight to obtain near zero buoyancy will be just above. Not updated the sketch yet because I have some unresolved trivial scenarios to think of that may prove to be vital. This is where I'm at right now
