Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Thanks Anthony

I ordered some brushless motor today to test them in salt water and see if they will work.

Can you use these under water salt/fresh ?

Nice design, similiar to my design

Is it nessesary with mesh protecting the intake for the mortors, I will guess that it only making the waterflow bad ?

What dimension do you plan ?

When are you planning to built it ?

Yes from the 8023 board in the ROV I will run relays to motors.
And relays to camera controls.

About some controls. Could I use a PS2 Controller wit this board ? http://www.cytron.com.my/viewProduct.php?pcode=PSC28A And use this to send it to my ROV ? http://www.designnotes.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=K8023&Category_Code=elk&Product_Count=224 The controls i...

Good question

I hoped that I could use a PS2 controller to control the cameras and ROV.
I will have a computer topside, but It doesnt need to control the ROV.

I have looked on some boards but doesnt know what I need.

Good to know that there are any others that like this design. I have make it a little bit shorter but kept the other measurement. Going to start building in the end of may. Reciving the lasts parts theese days. Gone have two pan and tilt camera, one front looking and one down looking. May need some ...

My experience in electronic and programming is below average, but I trying to get more experience by reading. But I have freinds that are experienced in electronic, but they didnt now anything about Arduino boards. I have built controls with an oldtime joystick, but would like to use a PS2 controlle...

I have start building my own ROV now after stumbling over http://www.homebuiltrovs.com for a couple of years ago. :D A sent some mails to Steve and asked about everything and he answered me so I found out that I had to start building my own ROV. I got almost no experience in electroics and guess I w...

Do anybody have any experience with this design ?
Measurement is 400 mm x 400 mm x 600 mm.
