Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Wow, Great to see you back Ryan! You've definately motivated me to drag out my unfinished project and continue!

//#include <AFMotor.h>#include <Adafruit_MotorShield.h>#include "utility/Adafruit_PWMServoDriver.h" Hi a_shorething, Thanks heaps for posting your code! With the AFMotor and Adafruit libraries, it all looks a little foreign to me so I'll have to look over it a couple of times when I've go...

If you want I can post my actual code Thanks a million. I'm not familiar with the case command, so being able to see it in context would help me heaps. I don't want to over-complicate, but it seems that this would actually be simplifying my code. I'd really appreciate seeing your actual code! Thank...

Really clean build mate! Great job!

Hey KDM!

Good call on the Halogens! I found some cheap LED torches at a discount store for a couple of dollars each, that I've stripped down for use.

How does the buoyancy look now?

Thanks so much, a_shorething! I didn't quite realise that once a condition had been met, that it completed the loop. I really am still a beginner and your feedback has helped heaps.

Have you glued a flange onto the pipe? Absolutely right, KDM. I found a flange that fit nicely inside the main compartment. I think I got the inner tube idea from this forum! but might make up a aluminium plate to act as a giant washer behind the flange, as its a little on the thin side. I'll obvio...

Just wondering if you are using functions since you said you were really new to programming. If you aren't they can really help you compartmentalize your code and make it a lot easier to read through at the same time. Thanks for the feedback :) You're absolutely right. I'm not using functions and d...

Epiphanies come at the strangest times....lol. I was cooking stir-fry and not even thinking about the ROV when my solution popped in my head. As I mentioned in my first post, I'm new to this whole field so common sense doesn't apply to me because I haven't learned it yet :P So I believe that I could...

Its great to have pulled the ROV out again after another break. Since my last update, I have completed the internal motor chassis that fits inside the semi-complete pvc watertight compartment. I say, 'semi-complete' because it is not yet watertight. I've got a flange bearing on the end which i suspe...
