Homebuilt ROVs Forum

This is the ROV that I built.
Was tested at 6 meters and performed well.
The control uses an Velleman kit to transmit the signals over two wires.
The surface control unit and subsea box uses relays to control the six thrusters.
Thrusters are 700GPH bilge pumps.

I will post the circuit diagram.

Frame: PVC pipe 20mm
Thrusters: 8 modified bilge pumps
Camera: Colour
Lights: 2 LED lights on the front
No depthmeter
No compass
18 meters of tether
