Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Just build a new PI, with 2 Logitech C525 webcams. This is how I did it: apt-get install libjpeg62-dev apt-get install cmake apt-get install apache2 apt-get install subversion git clone https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer.git cd mjpg-streamer/ cd mjpg-streamer-experimental/ make make instal...

Indeed, resolution is 640x480... It could do better, have tested 960x720.. But that didn't fit on my screen side-by-side anymore :) Its using about 10% CPU for each stream (100Mb connection), I am sure it could do 4 streams (not tested) Not sure how many FPS I get, I have set F 25... no errors show ...

Most (if not all) of the above Camera + OSD examples.... record the video and the data into files. So they can later combine both of them, into one video (that's cheating ;) ) Looks great on Youtube, but not really usefull for ROV's Best result I got so far, is using mjpg_streamer with 2 webcams (Lo...

Let me ask you a question

The aluminum tubes were enough weight for buoyancy?

No, but buoyancy can be adjusted by filling the tubes (I used 1.3Kg) with "Soft RVS" (Stainless Steal Pellets/shot, try your local diving shop)

I am sure, having skills like "RC Builder" and "Linux Hacker", helps to keep the build time this short.

Basically it was just buying the parts and putting it all together

Nothing is really fancy or new stuff, most of it came from google or this great forum!

Just be sure to read the full topic, as lots of progress has been made after the start of this project.Also check this thread: http://www.homebuiltrovs.com/rovforum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=1520 Just 2 weeks ago, I got into the ROV World. See what it got me so far ;) ROV: Not my own design, just my...

Screenshot of it all in action

Basicly i am running 2 streams (640x480), using mjpeg streamer for software.
Can run at a higher res, but like the 2 streams next to each other on a webpage.

Still lookimg for a way to overlay a HUD... But currently a small putty terminal screen works just aswell, for now.

Hi, Just build my first ROV, based on the Sealion-2 Using Raspberry PI's as controller, 2 webcam (Logitech C510, one converted to IR) for live-video stream (100Mb cat5 tether) Openrov Depth sensor, with IMU.
