Hello from Bergen, Norway!

Hello everyone!
I guess it's about time to say hello to you all.
I have been lurking around in these forums for a couple of months now and I have just started my own ROV project.
I work as a mechanical engineer for a company that produces offshore cranes. This means I sit in front of my computer all day and work with software such as Autodesk Inventor and Autocad.
So far, my designs and plans are changing quite often as I gather more and more information and ideas from your projects.
So far I have pretty much got everything I need for my controls, motor controllers and communications with the ROV. though there is still quite a bit to get in place before I start building.
I am also getting a lot of help with the software and coding from "a_shorething" here on the forums, and I am planning to use his xbox controller software to control my ROV. It is still in beta testing, but so far it looks very promising.
I also have my own 3D printer witch will be used as much as possible to make parts for my project.
More updates will come when I settle down on a design I am happy with and start building.
Regards
Ole.
