yeah, looks great!

UV-active PVC?

How much thruster power you use in this dive ? What do you mean? Forward was 10%, sideways 50%, up/down 30% maximum power It seems like going to the uncertain, but the sensor-data are not displayed in the video. This is why navigation-sensors are very important and also a good light-solution. We wi...

I tried once in video editing to cut the encounter with a friend and his rov in November 2014. Actually we wanted to go to a nightdive together but as i reached the lakebed the right thruster of his ROVs failed. We have tried to analyze the error on the spot, but could not see whats wrong.:( So i to...

...now its time to start a new dimension of diving robots.

Possible increased bearing friction after the first run in the water?

Sounds logical.

Could also be a current-leakage, a heated ESC or growing short circuit. Did you seal the coils of the Motor with some polish? Do you use motors with good quality? Did you try a third test?

Because I know how difficult is finding a good name for an ROV, I want to start collecting same "interesting" names for our best "thing". It could also be named "how do you really should not call your ROV".. maybe like E xploring R emote O perating S ystem I would appre...

I've thought it would be better to see how to connect your (4S=14,8V) lipolys cause I was previously uncertain, too. Lipos.jpg If you use a equalizer (not a balancer) inside the ROV you don't need to bring out balancer-outputs. There is no need for main fuse because you need a fuse for every circuit...

Nice Idea, but won't work. For powering motors and control separate you had to connect the GND (only PWM won't work because PWM need ratio to GND). You have to be very carefull with separate power. It might be possible other connections will take these connection(to GND) for devices. On X³-Control t...

Is there such a thing as too much power? This is an interesting question... maybe advanced First, you're right. "that means it can deliver 4000mA of power for an hour" i've "calculated" the power management of ROVER3D for a normal use of 4 hours (nightdive). So i've checked the ...
