UUV

Post by Ianth3impler »

Hello fellow nerds. This is my UUV project, the design is pretty basic this was a no brainer to build in CAD and build in real life. Unlike a ROV It’s life isn't easily saved by pulling on a tether but rather how well the code is that I write for it. Here are some pictures of the build. I will go into more depth later on once the electronics tray is finished.

Quick update, electronics tray finished working on mounting the electronics and building out the PCB boards. Next mile stone is building the battery pack out of 18650’s.

I don't know what I'll do with it yet. Trying to figure out a few things with 3d sonar. Coding is going to be the worst thing for this.

UUV is coming along nicely. Still haven't gotten to playing with programming it yet I’d like to have everything physically built before that. I have been working on converting a fish finder into an altimeter.

Good afternoon.
You can put some specific link on this "Nerd response level-EPIC", I only find video games.
Thank you for a greeting

I have little updates now. So far I have loaded ROS (robot operating system) on the RPI and have been slowly building the battery pack out of 18650’s. I designed a mast to put the GPS and wifi antenna and 3D printed a mold, however when I cast the mast in epoxy it failed (a lot of lessons learned there!). I have came across a few design flaws that need to be worked out that will be accounted for in the next UUV I build which I have already designed and parts sitting on the shelf. Next UUV will have contra-rotating props, the whole body will be fiberglass/ carbon fiber, and use lead acid 24 volt batteries.

Hi! some guys and I are designing a drone with a very similar shape to the one you created. Why do you say you want to use carbon fiber? What advantages would you have? Ours is 2 meters long and 0.4 meters in diameter. Do you think it is better in steel or carbon fiber?
