Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Just found another option. http://www.omega.com/pptst/PX180B.html Rated to 500psi for anyone looking at deeper operating depth. It is in psig so that should make the calculations fairly straight forward. This is probably what I'll end up using as I'm designing a AUV with a working depth of 500ft and...

I know this topic is a little old but I've been looking at accelerometers for other parts of my control system. Several of them have interrupt lines for impact detection so if you are already using a micro-controller this might be a easy way to go.

My intent was to use a pattern defined on a laptop and then loaded into the AUV. Then it would just follow that path unless it detects obstetrical in which case it would have avoidance algorithms. I'm about 1/3 way through parting out the electronics for the control system. First I'm going to be dev...

Nice to see another member in Michigan. I think the reason you do see tilt is its not really something you can do easily with thrusts. Your ROV would have to be very well balanced and very fine control of the power output. One think I was thinking about was actually having piston style ballast so I ...

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a while getting ideas for a huge project I'm in early stages of planning. I'm planning on a very feature rich AUV. I'm a Computer Science Major at Oakland University (1 year to go). And have a fair bit of electronics experience both from the Army as well as working...
