For the radio link, you can maybe use ExpressLRS to have more range, Really good video !

@ilya_k392 2 ай бұрын

I would even switch to 915mhz version to have better range so close to ground. And I would try to analyze the pins from the plug of the sonar sensor, and just try to mirror it over 4g\5g internet to the ground station head unit (but that will be quit difficult).

@ZappelFly 2 ай бұрын

I was thinking exactly the same, when i saw the radio. With ELRS you can have a range of many kilometers at best. Maybe you could also do the videosignal via some drone protocol by simply filming the screen of the onboard Hummingbird with a drone camera. That would probably also save you some energy.

@JayReding 2 ай бұрын

That would definitely help. Raising the antenna as much as possible would also help - the water is going to tend to reflect and scatter RF signals which can be very annoying to spread-spectrum systems. ELRS also has a 2.4gHz/915mHz combo option now that would be really nice for a use case like this.

Cool video. The problem you have with the waves is mainly due to the fact that you have a very short length of the boat making very unstable, there are two solutions to reduce the bounce of the boat, 1. make it longer, a lot longer 20 to 30 ft which would help stabilize but that will be a huge boat. The other way is to build the boat with SWATH technology hulls, if you can get the motors on a kind of pontoon that operates about 1m under the surface of the water you can have a super sable platform to mount the sonar onto. The other solution is to make a towable drone that operates at about 1m below the surface and mount the transducer onto that to maintain its stability. your image will be much smoother. This could have some far reaching implications for SAR in bodies of water, this is an awesome project.

@cristiangarces5832 2 ай бұрын

Amazing video! Brief note about the wreck The remains of the IL2 in the bottom of the water are the metal components of the plane, basically the main fuselage and the roots of the wings. The wings and tail were made of wood, so they disappeared by degradation and time. There is a wonderful scale model made by Diego Quijano in 1:48 of an IL2 showing its materials, look at it, and you will see how the submerged remains of the aircraft fit with the original metal structure of the plane.

@Ma_X64 2 ай бұрын

The first set of antennas did not work, most likely because, with the polarization it uses, there is a certain minimum height above the surface on which the antennas must be installed, and this is clearly not 2 meters.

For the future, a good option for long range wireless communication might be LoRaWAN it's specifically designed to be able to transmit and receive from ridiculous distances and very low powers. LoRaWAN specifically is designed to host a wifi network across the LoRa protocol, which would be perfect for your router issues. LoRa can easily span over a kilometer without directed antennae, and with them, I believe the range is ~8 km

@bastienx8 2 ай бұрын

LoRa is for low power and low bandwidth applications, like remote sensors. In this case the direct video from their underwater drone require a lot more than a few kbps so I don't think it is a good option for them.
