Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Has anyone experimented with feeding Arduino complied data (depth, temp, compass, etc) to a video overlay board? If so what type of Arduino and video over lay board did you use?

the tellymate is the only video output shield I've seen.

it looks like the tellymate should work with any arduino, like the uno.

another option would be a standalone video overlay device, like this one:

again, any arduino should be able to drive it.

Thank you for the info. I will research both items.

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

Lostcaggy, do you have any additional information on the specific set-up you used, software, were you injecting the data into the video feed down in the ROV, or injecting it on the surface? I am new to arduinos.

this video shield looks like it might be perfect:

it won't work on a arduino mega, though.

I'm surprised no one has made a shield with this part on it...

Anybody has got a practical setup yet, with one of these devices?
