Homebuilt ROVs Forum

I basically used the plans I purchased for the same reason. Since then I have decide to do everything from scratch and build as I go. Please keep me posted to how it goes with your test. I am still gathering parts and pieces for my build so nothing yet is carved in stone for the final design. Anthony

This is quite ironic, I purchased the same design plans a while back when I first decide to build an ROV, downloadable PDF file. It was only while researching deeper into RC controller options did I find mention about lost signal issues due to the nature of antennas and how they work. Might be ok on...

Hi all, I was out shopping for parts and pieces for my build today and visited the local military surplus outfit. You just never know what treasures might be lying around. Anyway I spotted this small box on a shelf amongst a heap of various electronic stuff and when I opened it discovered a CURTIS P...

Using an RC system to transmit a signal on a conductor i.e. CAT5 in principle one would think it would work well. But there may be an inherent issue that comes to mind. ...

Hi Okkaby, I gather this is a generic question regarding DC brushless motors? I did not see a link or image to know exactly what you are reffering to.

For those of you that are familiar with the ROV Asia system I believe I have good news. I managed to contact Gordon Duncan yesterday and here was the response regarding purchases. "The boards will be re manufactured in three months time they also have a light controller board, Take care and bes...

Gordon Duncan may not be MIA. I did manage to contact him yesterday and here is the response. "The boards will be re manufactured in three months time they also have a light controller board, Take care and best regards, G. Duncan." Has anyone on the forums used the ROV Asia setup? Anthony

Wow those are nice looking thrusters. I would imagine they carry a heafty price tag to boot.

Hi Mike, the link below is where I purchased my dome and you can pretty much configure what you need from diameter, dome depth, material thickness and flange width.

Hi again Dave, you can't get any simpiler than to use DPDT (double pole double throw ) momentary switches. They are inexpensive and can be bought anywhere. Using them you can have full control forward and reverse up and down. Like these http://www.ebay.ca/itm/6-Pin-Toggle-DPDT-ON-OFF-ON-Momentary-Sw...
