First Pool Test (Seawolf III)

Location: Charmichael Gym
Duration: ~3 Hours

Details:

On March 28th, we conducted Seawolf III's first pool test. We ran the craft for a total of 3 hours before the netbook battery died. Our goal was to debug the depth PID code and sensor. The depth sensor unit was feeding us incorrect data, but the data was proportional to the depth. Last minute code changes were made to fix the situation to get the craft to dive. The PID code seemed to work well- It needs a few corrections. But overall, the entire club came out (despite tornado warnings in the area) and the entire test went very well.
