ROV Project from Croatia

Post by IBanovac »

My goal is to make Rov able to withstand max depth of 300m (1000ft) and trouble free working depth of 200m.
(plenty interesting wrecks around)

Layout will be similar to bluerov, for now I will try to use NTM 2836 750kv motors in oil filled and pressure compensated houings, I have yet to begin work on them. Second option is to get T200 trusters.

Housing is 100mm diam aluminum tube with wall thickness of 5mm, endplate is 7mm thick.

Inner frame is made on cnc I can ocassionaly use, i used same 7mm thick marine aluminum plate that I used for endcap and dome flange, i painted it with epoxy primer and automotive paint.

Esc-s are hobbyking 30A with removed housing and attached on frame plate with thermal pad to transmit heat, still need to order one more as they only had 5 first time I ordered.

Control will be Pixhawk with Raspberry as in Bluerov as i dont have that good programing skills to do it myself so will use finished code. I will try to use data ower power line to get at least 300m of tether which should be as thin as possible.

I had to desolder some conectors from rasp since there is no need for them to take space, still not sure what to do wth battery to squeeze smaller in housing or to make separate one for bigger capacity-

Currently waiting for housing tube and end flanges to get anodized, sent them last week in workshop.
Also looking for some polyamid to make outer frame and mounts for cylinder.

Will try to update topic as I make some progress

Made some progress on housing and frame, in meantime i made some lights from aluminum, didnt want to overcomplicate so i made them sealed permanent. Frame is made from high strenght expanded pvc and aluminium profiles, seats are plexi.
