Thanks for the post!!

Thanks for the offer! I really appreciate it, but I am focusing on Moki's solution now. All components have arrived and waiting to get connected :) But when you get it working please share what you got so others can use it. If it's ok for you ofc. I think the control and software part is the most d...

No, I was going to go that route in the start. But I found out that I am allergic to programming..

Well, now that I'm going a different way with the design (away from PC and toward gamepad>arduino) maybe I can send you some code that you can use.

USB host shield works with both 360 wireless controller and ps3 controller (bluetooth dongle needed for ps3). I have tested both using the hos shield code examples. As for the goggles I also plan on using something similar as mentioned above. But I was just thinking of using a kit like the one belo...

a_shorething, not sure when you were referring to the head on your boat you meant the compartment or the thing inside it. The head on my boat is quite free from sunlight, especially when I open that little sliding door in the bottom of the bowl :shock: . That aside, when all the bugs are out of an ...

Ah yes.. I've seen those wearable goggles thing and I guess getting the lens right for the screen/distance/ focus would be your biggest difficulty. The ski goggles do tend to be fairly tinted and the back ground being snow helps. If I can describe it correctly it is just like having a projector on ...

Sorry matey, which link is that ? I couldn't see one ..... I have a similar board to the 9DOF board but the one with barometer and temp sensor in I'm wrestling with ti in python and java script as we speak... The VR glasses like the oculus rift thing is great but I wanted a HUD so that I can still ...

Interesting puzzle. I assume the cost limitation would be the cost of having a diver do it or hauling the boat and doing it in a sling/cradle/blocks. One thing I think you'll need to know is what force is going to be needed to remove barnacles in the water. The natural glue they secrete is one of th...

Perfo read that link. The thing from Adafruit includes a 9DOF board that can send input to the system like an Oculus Rift kind of thing. You can set it up to connect to a pan/tilt control of the camera. It wouldn't give complete control but it would be pretty cool to move the camera with that and co...

This is kind of a sister post to the one I made in the Arduino forum about eliminating the need for a laptop topside by using an Arduino USB host shield for control and using just a dedicated display system for viewing the video stream. https://learn.adafruit.com/3d-printed-wearable-video-goggles/ov...
