Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Project has been restart (i never stopped, just paused it)

New frame, new software... same looks

Software: https://github.com/Moki38/Moki-ROV2

It all depends, i think it can be done... but a raspberry pi, isn't realtime. I would suggest an Arduino for the realtime functions.

Would that be possible? Would that be almost the simplest way? Possible, sure... if you have the skills or the time to master/learn them. Some have gone this path, Shameless plug of my software/setup https://github.com/Moki38/Moki-ROV2 The easier path is the BlueRobotics path (ardusub), just buy wh...

So many questions...

- whats the plan with the gps?
- how do you plan to dive (or resurface after the dive)?
- rudders only work with speed (i think) what is the turning radius of your urov?

And the Moki ROV2 (but thats off topic)

And a recent screenshot

So far so good, the software is working, but it is not easy to configure, yet

Not a recent one, but here is an old one.



The looks didn't change much... using the same code.

As the Arduino Mega is very large... and space is limited in the ROV.
I may switch to the Teensy 3.2 as a controller.

Lets first get this thing going.

Just an accouncement, that we are back in business ;) New setup, same looks: * Raspberry PI (Model B+) * Raspberry PI Camera Module v2 w/Wide Angle * Google Chrome browser on PC * XBox One controller (bluetooth connected to PC) * Arduino Mega2560 / Teensy 3.2 / Uno * BlueRobotics Depth/Pressure sens...
