Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Hello Sunk, I just made something that looked prop like not very good when looked at close up.

Thought I would update you on where I am with the build have most bits just a lot of work to get it together!

Jonny

very nice

Are you going to run on-board power, or through the tether ?

Hello,

I am going to run power through the tether the large silver housing is a 48v to 12v 20amp voltage regulator and 4 no ESC on the revese side is a 48v - 12v 3amp regulator for the control & LED lighting there is a bank of 4 relays for lights etc, just waiting for a control board to try an fit on or will place in the forward compartment.


cheers Jonny

Really clean build mate! Great job!

Hey, I was wondering something. It looks like you have two cameras in the front tube why do you have two?

I have never used a cad program before and this is my first ROV http://micomarov.weebly.com/. I found the free Sketchup to be the best for me. I tried the freecad program and in my opinion it just was not as intuitive. To get a propeller in Sketchup go to File/3d warehouse/get model and search for "simple ship propeller". You can search for propeller, ship propeller, or boat propeller and you will get several models if the first search does not have what you want.
