Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Is anyone following up on this? maybe using an arduino to allow speed control? I ready to build using the 3/4 thrusters 1200 gpm sump pumps. Any help or references you could pass my way would really help

Checked out your site. I like the look of those enclosures, and that 5 amp hour battery. Simpler than Li-Po. Make sure that the current rating of your motor drive board is up to running whatever pump motors you have. If not high enough, maybe use lower voltage supply to reduce the current, or use s...

@rossrov Thanks Ross, sounds like you might have the knowledge that I need or at least point me in the right direction. I am not going brushless because my work will be 100% salt water and I am very familiar with what saltwater does to any electronics it comes in touch with and I also know, the hard...

@Hipshot131, If you have the money and the time I would buy better components for building your ROV especially if you want to dive to over a 100 ft. Therefore you might want to consider ROV products from Blue Robotics (https://www.bluerobotics.com/store/). They plan to offer control systems from th...

My question too! fiber would be fantastic for an umbilical I know that it can be done but how much it would cost and how complicated is the question. The ROV project is working on one for their controller board. I know will require a converter at both ends to translate and I have no idea how costly ...

Hi The name is Rich, I am 72 years young and retired Army SSG and Boeing Machinist/NC programmer. I am also a NAUI masterdiver/photographer with well over 2000 dives but I am now grounded and can't dive anymore. Thus I am planning to build and ROV to continue my diving/photography. So now that I am ...

Have you perfected this yet? I am starting an ROV and this could greatly simply the process.
