Hi Marnix, good to hear you are making progress since May! Sorry to say, but I haven't touched my ROV for ages now. Until November I am working on an underwater live stream camera for a tournament underwater soccer. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHinYaStgqmZq7M). After that I should pick my ROV up again and continue with the depth sensor and sonar. When I first used them they worked only halve of the time (don't know what I did wrong, potentially a power issue), which really killed my enthousiasm.

Nice job !!!! How long did the brushless motors resisted the corrosion?
@gravitylost17 жыл бұрын
Hi David, I think I have made about 15 runs in sweet water without much drying or spraying the bearings, which would have helped I suppose. They were completely worn out and corroded when I replaced them by INOX bearings. For my type of motors I bought inox bearings in France, they are sold for fishing reels. 4X8X3 INOX SMR84 ZZ and ROULEMENT A BILLES 4X8X3 INOX SMR84 ZZ via eBay. Around 35 euro including shipping for 3 motors. More than the motors are worth, however else you keep replacing them.

Niels Affourtit ok....so the brushless motors stays alright and the only problem are the bearings? What about the electricity running through the copper coils underwater???
@gravitylost17 жыл бұрын
Yep. No problems with the rest yet. I have had 2 tether breaks recently, so I have the idea the tether is wearing out on frequently bent spots. I focus now on cable break scripts to stop and surface the ROV and i am considering to attach a rope to the tether in case the electrical cables break
@davidizquierdogomez7 жыл бұрын
Ok nice...I see. I´m afraid that the brushless are gona dye very soon if I use the barren in salt water. Hence I´m trying to set up a nice magnetic coupling but it´s very slow process (not enough time). In regard with the tether, I´ve done my own unit with an 8mm intern diameter, 12 mm extern diameter house (merlett brand) of 50 m long and 6 cables inside and it works very nicely. I´m using it to wire a gopro underwater: battery, shooter and power button. It´s very robust. How do you insert the tether in the ROV?
@gravitylost17 жыл бұрын
I have glued the tether in the hull with epoxy. I create a U shaped pocked in the PVC and fill it with epoxy. Since the tether is connected to the TENDA home plugs, I can simply use a waterproof connector like described here: forum.openrov.com/t/tether-disconnect/2909

@rayjohannsson63517 жыл бұрын
Hello Niels. I have been thinking about your schematic. It appears you have 1 battery to power the entire ROV. The 11v source powers the Raspberry Pi and the motors. I have read in other forums that if your electric motors have a large current draw, it can cause the current to the Raspberry Pi to dip too low and cause a reboot. If you notice such problems, it might be due to this. One solution is to isolate the electric motor with a separate battery.

Ray, thanks for the tip. I never had these problems until last month, where the rasp shuts down/freezes when i switch the lights with the relais several times..
@gravitylost17 жыл бұрын
Your comment made me check the schematic and I now see that the Raspberry and the relais for he lights are powered from the same 12V-5V converter. Although I already have two converters, I think I will put these two on dedicated power sources too, specially the Rasp. Thanks!

Hi Niels. You used a 12 volt battery on the surface and transmit the power (and data) to the ROV over 2 wires for a distance of 50m? I am surprised that works (I thought there would be too much of a power loss along such a long, small guage wires). If this is how you implemented your ROV, I may rethink my design too! thanks -Ray
@rayjohannsson63517 жыл бұрын
No, after seeing another webpage on your build, it looks like you have a LiPo battery on board for power. The tether wires only seems to be for communication purposes.

Ray Johannsson, indeed, a few Watt is all you can sqeeze through those wires, so I don't. One 3S lipo on board and one onshore on the tether for the tenda and the wifi router. With the router i am free to move the laptop around. I have tested my new sonar and depth keeping script and should share some video soon. This week I printed cages for the ducted props, since the tether was cut by the prop for the second time! Good luck with yours

Hi Daniel, thanks! The commands are transmitted via socket, this has the advantage that there is no delay at all. What i do is i separately start a python script on the laptop that connects to the IP of the raspberry and continuously send 4 commandlines per second to the ROV. I use gamepy to read the joystick and I added winapi32 to capture the keyboard (can control now with joystick OR/AND keyboard. It is much more responsive than over webpage

@gravitylost17 жыл бұрын
Hi Clapher, Note that wireless video is not available underwater (the frequency is too low, the bandwidth too small). You can however control the vehicle via a 40 or 35 Mhz standard RC remote (35Mhz is normally only allowed for planes). This signal you can use to approximately 10 meters of water. The newer versions don't penetrate into the water (2.4Ghz). For the electrical setup refer to my Fritzing sketch kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXe8mJ-Nr5mootE.
