Homebuilt ROVs Forum

And be warned, Hobbyking site is dangerous to you wallet!! I've already ordered a plane, just because it looked so fun :D :D I know what you mean. I can see a lot of stuff that I want there. ;) Do I need it? No... I dont know what you consider working "right out of the box", but you can b...

Thanks Ken, (Marius: Sorry for going off topic) The reason I bought these ESC's was that they were supposed to go in reverse (info on ebay). The seller was not able to tell how, he suggested that I should switch the cables :? :shock: I have considered to buy the same ESC's that Nick use. Do you thin...

I have ordered the boards from njs552. Meanwile I have tried his code with the two UNO3's I got. I didn't know that I have to program the ESC's :oops: !!! How do I do that? The ESC's are "MYSTERY Pentium 30A Speed Controller ESC" http://www.homebuiltrovs.com/rovforum/viewtopic.php?f=15&...

It has a trainer port on the back if that's what you're asking, it is different in that it has 9 (really only 8) channels. Ok, thanks. I'm testing out different solutions to control my ROV.

Hi Kale, I hear you. I'm working on a tilt-only system for mine that will work with a Raspberry Pi camera. The actuator is the same micro servo listed in yours, but it's not integrated into the mount, so it can pivot more 'tightly' if you know what I mean. And since I'm custom designing it I can pi...

I purchased a pan/tilt camera platform and I found out that the centre of the pan and tilt axes are not aligned. In other words, the camera lens will not point perpendicular to the dome in all directions. http://www.ebay.com/itm/130995735488?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 I w...
