Neptune a Raspberry ROV
Posted: Jun 29th, 2020, 6:59 pm
Good Afternoon Everyone,
Just thought i'd post alittle about my project maybe get some feedback.
I'm designing a mostly printed ROV, the only components not printed are the hull.
in addition to being printed my ROV is controlled by 2 raspberry pi's and a nodemcu.

Here is a few images.
The basic design is the 3dprinted frame attaches to a PVC hull.
The frame has three bilge pumps, 1 for depth and two for horizantal movement.
The Thrusters get wired into the hull using the above black wire plug.
Once wired in it's attached to a few hbridges and internal pi controls using PWM signals
The water pi uses a nodejs server to host all webpages and etc also motion software to send a usb camera signal back above ground.
The nodejs app uses websockets and etc to control the thrusters.
I have a ground pi as well connecting to a NODEMCU the NODEMCU host's a wifi accesspoint my mobile phone and the ground pi connects to.
The ground pi acts as an ethernet bridge.
The NODEMCU is connected to a lcd display which displays status and etc on the ground station.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks for taking time to look at this writeup.
I'm sure the formatting needs work but hopefully i got my point across!
