Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Depends on the purpose of the switch. If you have a switch topside and use that to flip the powerline to a motor for the direction then not. But if you have the switch connected to an arduino then you probaly need a relay to switch something in the ROV.

There are also several tutorials on the net about forwarding a (video)stream to a tcp port and watch it directly with a browser for the PI. Don't know if this service requires to be online all the time?

Nice to see how you keep improving your ROV each year. My ROV is still on the bench being build very slowly, I think I am more in the process of evolution to see if the components manage to grow together and form a new ROV by them self

Hi DavidF,

For another project what I have in mind am I looking into tracks, did you find some good resources about building tracked vehicles on the net?

Kind regards,

Beautiful designs

No clue to what connector model that exactly is. In most cases the manufacture of the ROV can tell you. Otherwise searching on sites as ebay for a 4 pins connector could work. Maybe even try an image search with google of the connector.
