NICE!! Someone left a comment on my last video, suggesting precisely what you did with the compass. Couldn’t get it to work yet though because my ROV is simply too small and the compass too close to the motors. Hence: too much electromagnetic deflection. Well done! 😀
Very clever putting the compass in front of the camera! Also is this camera footage at 1:38 from the sparkfun camera you mentioned in your build video ?
Hey I'm interested in making a rov I'm just a little confuse how do you control it because i see a cable what is that cable called and how do you make a controler
I use relays to control the motors. The wiring instructions can be found here: www.homebuiltrovs.com/howtorelaywiringdpdt.html. Peter Sripol used these relays in his recent ROV build: www.amazon.com/Forward-Reverse-Module-Actuator-Reversing/dp/B0879GGVPZ/ref=sr_1_3?crid=27G5NXO7Q8KKH&keywords=oono+relay&qid=1640137841&sprefix=mono%2Caps%2C151&sr=8-3. They look like they would be easier to set up. The tether has three cables. The first is an ethernet cable for turning the relays on/off, the second is thick speaker wire for powering the motors, and the third is an RCA cable for the camera.
Those are glass rocks for ballast to make it sink. I had trouble with them sliding around in the tubes though, so I later replaced them with metal washers that I held in place with screws driven into the PVC pipe.
Fantastic !!! Thanx to you

Health hands, What is the 0:20

Can u give me your email i have a question regarding buoyancy of rov if u can help me thanks
You can just ask me here.
