Hi All!
Been lurking on and off for some time and i'm now starting to take my first steps into building and 'playing with' ROVs. Ive been especially inspired by Bindo and his mini ROV built with quite basic gear.
I fly RC planes and quadcopters mainly through First Person View equipment, have many Rpi's and Arduinos hanging around, hopefully giving experience in the electronics needed for this sort of project. I also have a 3d printer and (limited) access to a large machine shop so in theory i'm all set up....
Its been in the back of my mind for a while but recently i received a challenge that would make the project worth wile in more ways than just personal interest. A hobby shop where i sometimes fly has a large lake that is known to have a few boats and even helicopters sitting at the bottom. They'll be of no use now but they do make a good target for some search and rescue with a little ROV!
Anyway, for now Hello and expect some questions and pictures of my progress soon.
