It's the second attempt to wet my feet
unfortunately the old ROV was too difficoult to complete, so I had to start with this new frame (tnx to all Steve's hints!).Perla has 4 brush motors, of course they are going to die in a few hours but I decided to start with them because of budget problems, you know...
On board I've also installed 2 multi-led lights and one IR security camera with its own dome.
The electronic "brain" is a relè board with specific software, the tether is a lan 30 metres long (about 100ft) connected to the pc through a USB extender.
What else? Well, when everything works fine I've a couple of other things to add: manipulator/hands and a new camera that I'll change into a tilting one.
I have also posted the pic of the first ROV (the silver one). It's made in kevlar and carbon fiber with a kevlar skeleton inside. All the electronics and other stuff are like Perla's, but it had its 4 motors on the rear wings. My idea was that every movement would be done using 1 or more motors. I had too many leaks of water.....game over!
Beg your pardon for my English
