Put a bar type magnet on the motor shaft and put a similar magnet on a propeller just outside the hull where the motor is. Since propellers require low-torque it works (...)

(...) 200ft is about 7 ATM, roughly 103psi. Your're gonna need some really mean seals, and some serious current to turn motors within those seals. Lots more current than the 293's can handle.

After reading the Vector 2X Manual a couple of times, it seems that the SDI pin (Serial Data In) has no function. It is even stated in the manual that this pin is never connected. If this is the case, couldn't we use the MISO pin from the HandyBoard (...) (26 years ago, 15-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
