is there a special reason why you want that thick pipe, 50meter depth does not demand so much. on the openrov they use 3mm wall acrylic pipe(OD 100mm ID 94mm). Have you talked to your local plumber? the pipes used in water distrubution have pressure ratings of 6-10Bar and are often pvc or something ...

Maybe... just a thought right now, have the sensor in a bag of air. The air in the bag, I would assume, would have the same pressure as outside the bag. As long as the bag is not completely fillled with air, I think it would proportionally and directly react to pressure. Or put the sensor in a wate...

I'm putting mine inside of a drybox otterbox. Hopefully.....hopefully the pressure is proportional inside the box as is outside. the pressure inside will remain at zero pressure until water comes in ;-) a closed container is called often "atmospheric container" meaning that the pressure i...

then the pressure wont affect the motors.

what kind of thrusters do you have? is it bilgepump units?, brushless motors?, dc motors without housing?

For more channels on the 4017, i think you must change the values of R3(390K) and C1(22n) to change the timing to reset the counter and connect channel 7-9 to pin 6,9 and 11. If my calculations are correct and my understanding of the circuit is correct. the framespace(explanation of framespace http:...

i found the openrov project in november, and have followed it since. I've also started being involved with discussions on the forums, making some drawings and stuff like that. I've started gathering all the parts on my own and have ordered the custom cape from OpenROV. After i started buying parts i...

i've searched abit on the net after ppm decoders myself, and found these two aswell: http://www.foxtechfpv.com/rmilec-ppmpwm-signal-dual-way-converter-p-403.html home made: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/norcimradiocontrol/Radio6.htm I've made a design of my own on the last, but have not tried it yet, s...

there is a ROV that furfills alot of your wishes: OpenROV - www.openrov.com pc control with keyboard or gamepad(experimental with xbox 360 gamepad at the moment) full-hd webcam connected to beaglebone via usb (i think its a bit lower resolution on the dashboard though. either 2-wire 10mbit ethernet ...

i _think_ its most efficient with the motors as far away from each others, because i've heard something about "tip vortexes" that makes turbulense in the water. i also think it would be less "wobbly" with the motors further away. I'm not good at mathematics, but more focused abou...
