Hi, what kind of camera do you use?

[@MaXdriVe95_CODM]

How much it costs...??

Amazing!! Congratulations :)

great video! what are you using for thruster motors, they sound like they have reduction gears.

[@gravitylost1]

+007tallguy Thanks for the compliment! I know they make an awful noise... I bought different motors to see if it makes a difference, but didn't install them yet. I've been on holidays and I got a new floor in my house: that's a lot of work too;). The bearings are corroding so they start to get some play. It's time I invest in ceramic bearings. I dit buy some CorrosionX and must say it preserves the steel very well, so applying that from the start will most likely help a lot. I use ordinary outrunners without gears: D2836-11750/36638 Turnigy D2836/11 750KV Brushless Outrunner Motor+ shaft connecter set TTS-18A/32466 Turnigy TrackStar 25A 1/18th Scale Brushless Car ESC

ok, cool. thanks for the info! i thought i might have my rov ready for the water this weekend but one of my esc's is shorting out and blowing fuses so i have to get that straightened out. hopefully i'm just overlooking something simple, lol. ok, good luck with yours' and happy diving! :)

+007tallguy That's bad luck. Maybe I am stating the obvious, but did you disconnect the thin 5V power lead from the ESC (on the receiver side)? You can only connect one 'red' cable from your ESC to your ROV, not all red cables from all ESC-'s. I made that mistake when I started, luckily it only burned the potmeter and the rest of the ESC was still working when I cut the power cables.

actually, "esc" probably isn't the term i should use, i'm using DC motor controllers, not r/c esc's. they're a little circuit box with a 3 way switch with a pot to vary the speed. i've got + and - to the battery and blue and green (+ and -) to the motor leads. flick the switch one way for forward, the other for reverse and turn the pot to increase/decrease the speed. but they also have a circuit board within an aluminum heat-sink enclosure, so i think my problem is in there as all my wiring looks fine! as soon as i add power, my fuse blows. it "did" work fine before!
