those look interesting, will look into them thank you.

I'm still a beginner at this Arduino stuff but if I'm thinking correctly you might not need every connection from your motor controller to the mega to be PWM. That means you should be able to change some - and + pins from your motor controllers to the extras on the mega and that should leave you mor...

That's a good idea to run the pumps under load to check before putting everything together. The Pumps are rated 3.2A MAX and the H bridges are rated for 3A max, I thought it might be an OK match as both usually run around 2A normally. They were an early purchase for testing and your right that I sho...

Another Update: All code is working properly and very happy with the results. Will be adding a link to my first post for Code Download. Here is my set up for testing. I have the 100' Cat5e cable in between the joystick modules and the Arduino, working great and thinking of making it longer to see ho...

Thank you!
I will defiantly be posting my project as it develops.

Update on the code: Just received my new second joystick module in the mail, hooked it up to the Arduino and the code works for steering and A1 Light. I'm going to change the lighting code for single pin relay connections for both A and B lights, instead of another H bridge connection. Keeping thing...

Hello, I've always loved the ocean and this I believe is the next step for exploring it. I started gathering everything I need for building my first ROV project and am now learning the Arduino code for control. I'm kinda a jack of all trades and love learning something new. As I'm a little cut off f...

Great looking set up! and thank you for the info contribution. Maybe this will turn into a great spot for new ROV programmers to sift threw info and code a find what they need to get going? I know how fast these projects get complicated and messy but getting a stable start defiantly helps, seems the...

best to make sure you can power the Camera end so less problems. I used this on a 100' Cat5e cable with good results.

Here's the First edition of the code, I'm waiting for my other joystick module to show up, as my 2nd one doesn't seem to function properly, to test everything so far. If anyone sees a problem or has any suggestions please let me know. I believe I'm going to change the joystick press function to a si...
