In Autonomous mode, boat would stop halfway to waypoint, pause 20secs then continue. #22

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set the boat in Autonomous mode
2. Set it a waypoint
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

We expected it to reach the waypoint without stopping
On the gui the thrust was still up but the fan on the boat wasn't running.

Also, the GUI would give this error:

TimingOutCallback TimoutException No response after waiting 1000 milliseconds

Im not sure if those errors on the gui were related to this but while in 
autonomous mode and in manual mode the boat would jus stop and it continued 
after a while. Overheat protection on the ESC was off and the battery had 
charge.

I think this was the issue we found to be caused by the ESC's 5V power supply 
being overdrawn by the rudder servo on the shroud.  This would cause the 
Arduino to reset, which restarted its 20 second gyro calibration routine.

This was resolved electrically by separating the external and internal 5V power 
buses onto different regulators (the Arduino uses its onboard regulator).

I'm going to mark this as fixed, although it wasn't a code change.
