Re: Bathtub dive
Hey that looks really good!
Did you get any video feed too or was this just the 'ops-check' on mechanicals?
Congrats and good luck for your first sea trial.

Of course! Here are some screenshot from my bathtub, not much to see, except my hand. There's also my software screenshot with temperature,pressure and compass measurement and water detection (grey rectangle that turns red in case of leakage). Thank you!

Re: Bathtub dive
Great looking ROV and works well! I look forward to seeing underwater video footage of sea/ lake or whatever 
What software did you use for the instrument display on the PC?

Re: Bathtub dive
TNX! I'm about to test it in Adriatic sea, Croatia, hopefully this Easter. The software is Processing (http://processing.org/) the same language Arduino IDE is created. It reads USB gamepad values and sends it to Arduino using serial connection. U use EasyCap to stream onboard video. The only bad thing is that Processing doesn't support EasyCap drivers so i could't implement it into GUI.
