Skids, 4 way float / sink control, Styrene, Powered USB Hub
- Skids
- You want skids because you are going to be negatively bouyant by default. By having skids about 1' off the floor you don't have to use energy to stay down
- 4 way float / sink control
- There are 4 floats. For, Aft, Left, Right. They are hooked up to a single prop arm on a geared DC motor that rotates left and right which allows the lure to roll and two floats on the arm located far forward / and far aft. By changing the rotation of the propellor (at most 180 degrees) you can control the pitch and roll of the LURE
- Motor must be geared way down so the bouys are forced into their positions.
- Styrene
- Styrene tubing is supposed to be great for hooking up drive trains.
- Powered USB Hub
- If USB signal strength has a problem turn on the used a +5v powered hub instead of a passive USB2 hub at the end of the tether.
- Centrally located stabilizing weight
- One weight at the very center of the LURE can be further lowered down to create a the most negatively bouyant resting point for the LURE.
- Reel out the weight and it allows the LURE to hover at a much height height then its skids?
- Maybe skids are needed if this allows you to sit off the shore a certain length? I don't think I need skids, but the centrally located weight acts as a variable height skid.
