Hello, my name is Dimitris, Im a computer science teacher in highschool in Santorini, Greece.
Im 42 yo and never got my hands on a microcontroller, although Ive always wanted to.
Having been blown away by homemade videos of underwater ROVs guided by
playstation joysticks (!), I decided that this time I have no excuse not to go micro-controller crazy
and build a ROV myself! Im not interested in depth, but instead interested in everything else.
Cameras, headlights, leak detection, thrusters of course, etc. The more the merrier
The first thing to do is use an Arduino to drive a brushless motor. And also water-proof this motor.
I have many of the things required, because of my past with RC airplanes.
Well, thats it for now, I wish everyone a success in whatever they are doing and I hope to be able
to help someone one day, just like this forum has already helped me a lot.

Re: Hello from Greece
Welcome Dimitris! Hope you will enjoy it here and complete your build. I get a feeling a ROV build is never complete thou, but enough to get your feet wet then!
