Homebuilt ROVs Forum

I have an issue when trying to add sensor data to my setup, Heres the layout, - UNO in the ROV connected to sensors(temp, voltage) IC2 to PCA9685 for servos and ESC 0RX and 1TX go to a Fathom S Tether Interface board for RS422 comms -to the other Fathom S board connected to RX00 and TX01 on a Mega25...

Sure, here a link to a shared folder, I printed them at 25% infill at 2mm resolution and you will need supports. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HnDAv4-cBSwwv5eONkkkYrS4BuOTseKh?usp=sharing Here are some more pictures of it, IMG_20180922_143605.jpg IMG_20180922_143551.jpg IMG_20180922_143518...

Hello All, I have been working on my first ROV project and I think my wife is tired of hearing about it so I think I better outlet my zest for this project here, I am completely new to arduino but I like a challenge so I started with this aspect. I wanted to build everything mostly from scratch, con...

So I have been messing around with the EasyTransfer library and my Fathom S tether interface boards connecting to my Mega and Uno and successfully gotten 2 - 10K Pots to control 2 servos for a camera tilt and pan via the serial communication. I'd still appreciate any thoughts or insight to my early ...

Hi, sorry for the delay, I've been away. No problem Bennachie, just a hobby here, everyday life comes first, Thank you Bennachie and HolgerHey for your comments. I have been doing a lot of reading on serial communication and came to the conclusion that there so many ways to "skin the cat"...

Hey All, found this in my search for props I could 3D print, Its a Thingiverse design for a prop that has the same thrust FWD or REV, the best part is the designer uploaded the OpenSCAD file so you can edit the diameter, pitch angle, # of Blades etc to your own specs. You will need to download the O...

Ok, thanks again for the help, every post I learn more and more, I have been following your thread on your joystick USB controller and it is awesome, some day when I have finished learning the basics that will be my goal. For today I think I will build my own controller with analog thumbsticks on an...

Thank you for your comments. I did have another control method I was curious about but didn't find any clear cut info on it and maybe it's because it is so simple it's a given. I only have 1 arduino for testing and didn't try it. Can I connect two joystick modules and a couple buttons to an arduino ...

Hello All, I am buliding my first UROV and I have chosen to control my UROV via an arduino Mega setup as a webserver with a webpage at an IP address that has the motor/servo/esc controls on it. I know the very basics of programming and have managed to splice and edit code to start designing my helm ...
