Re: First Build ROV Queries

I don't know if you would need both the H-bridges and the Arduino. My controls are a simple joystick connected to an ethernet cord, and the H-bridges between the Ethernet cord and the motors. I think the Arduino does away with the need for the H-bridges, but you'll have to program the Arduino for th...

I have most of my parts gathered for my ROV. Now I'm down to the camera and the live video feed. I'm doing this first ROV pretty much all manual since I've never dealt with anything like an Arduino yet and I plan on learning that later (I want this ROV done by the end of summer). I would like to vie...

Controls on the cheap. Confused about power source.

Hey everyone. Sorry if this is long but I'm getting it all out of the way. I'm building my first ROV and this is my first project of this type. I've never even soldered before so I'm picking that up as well. I've always had a fascination with electronics but have never actually created anything, so ...
