Homebuilt ROVs Forum

My Arduino is in the rov, controlled at the moment from a pc. using usb over ethernet. I have ESC controllers driving brushless motors. Use the servo library for to drive the ESC's

I've driven the second one with an arduino, works quite well

If I remember correctly you scrape away some of the white coating and you also need a special lo temp solder

NiCd batteries onboard at moment, using computer for control at the moment but I'm installing a Wii Nunchuck to use as a controller.

On board batteries. Controller is an Arduino, using USB over cat 5 for cabling, can use up to 150 feet away.

Hi Rob

I copied your motor design from the RC forum
They certainly move some water, I need to do more testing as I have only done a quick run so far. Trying to get the time is the main thing.

I use motor controller with pwm to control the motors, I'm currently working on integrating a digital compass and on screen display, have both working individually but now need to integrate them together.

No problem
I work with Arduino a lot, my ROV uses Arduino for all it's control
