Re: Arduino boards.

PaulC, If you read my response on Phidgets on this thread http://www.homebuiltrovs.com/rovforum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=39 , it's not an Arduino, but it's an Arduino compatible and a C# .NET Microframework based package with an Arduino pinout. So basically, I am building something similar with a Pa...

Re: Pressure Sensors

PaulC,

Pressure Sensors

Anyone use Pressure Sensors to measure the water pressure around the ROV?

Can't seem to find anything that is greater than 100 psi?

Any help would be great.

I guess I would like to start with something similar to a fishing depth sensor system, but with my MicroController I have a couple of Analogues open that I co...

Re: Phidgets SBC for total ROV control

I am in the exact same spot. I eventually jumped in and found this site called TinyCLR their site is http://www.tinyclr.com Well I ended up buying a couple Pandas because the pre-release price was right. There are 60 IO with some analogue and 6 PWMs on it. As far as video, I am just planning on a se...

Anyways, been slowly working on my ROV, not too much progress but I did enter the world of Micro Controllers and have learned alot. Will be sharing once I get it all wrapped up. I have ...
