ROV Submersible Project - DIY Built Underwater Rover

This is an overview about a remotely operated submersible that was DIY built. The goal of the project is to build a submersible that can traverse under water areas to find interesting objects.
This video details the design and build of the submersible and first few dives it took. It is utilizing the ArduSub software and QGroundControl for the ground station software. All in all, if you have a 3D printer, a soldering iron, and a Dremel, you can make this same submersible.
The diving location is in Lake Raystown, a man made lake that was once a small town. Many structures were left in the lake when it was filled with water, one of which is a bridge which we take a look at in this video. Lake Raystown is quite murky so we can't typically see more than two or three feet in front of us. In the future we'd like to take this submersible to a clearer lake or even perhaps the ocean.

Some people are just too damn smart for their own good!!! Great work young man!! I’m 62 and have 6 grandchildren. Next year my 11yo and I are building an ROV for his science class project. Thanks

Muy buen video, lastima que no están los diagramas de las conexiones, sobre todo como conectar la raspberry pi con pixhawk. Se agradece igual el video. Very good video, too bad there are no connection diagrams, especially how to connect the raspberry pi with pixhawk. The video is also appreciated.

Do you happen to offer the code anywhere or 3d print files? Im a mechanical engineer but im still very much learning electronics and coding, id love to build something similar but always get stuck at the coding and electronics. Thanks so much, Love you video, just subbed

Amazing! I have to ask, what kind of cable did you use for tethering? I mean, did you wrap ethernet cable?

I'm trying to do this rn as well really good job, haven't checked the link yet but are the motors waterproof or did you just say fuck it and go anyway

Have you done any more dives?

@bbb-music7352 2 жыл бұрын

I was thinking about building one to, but did you waterproof the motors, or are they whaterproof by themselves?

@technik68 2 жыл бұрын

They're not sealed, just regular bldc motors. We basically consider them consumable, but haven't had any fail yet.

wow friend!!! increible,how did you seal the motors?

@technik68 2 жыл бұрын

I didn't seal them just run them a bit after i take them out of the watter to dry them.

Is that working out? How many submerged hours so far. Also, what is the battery life on what mAh? 12v right? I really enjoyed this video. Paused and rewound many times. Lots of condensed information. Thank you. Please post more!

updates?

These motors will fail even in fresh water. The bearings get rusty and fail. I have lost a few this way but was able to replace bearings. I am trying bilge pump motors, remove pump, install props.
