Questions and Answers
What will it do?
I will build a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for marine monitoring and inspection of some environmental parameters.
Who has done what beforehand?
There are many commercial ROVs which are very expensive. There is also the project OpenROV but my proposal is to build a cheaper ROV.
What materials and components will be required?
- PVC pipe
- Acrylic
- Epoxy glue
- Brushless motors
- Drivers
- Temperature sensor
- FabDuino board
- Raspberry Pi and Camera
Where will they come from?
- HobbyKing
- DFRobot
- Adafruit
- And locally.
How much will it cost?
Approximately $ 400.00
What parts and systems will be made?
- Structure
- Propellers
- Some boards (FabDuino)
- Sofware
What processes will be used?
- Laser cutting
- 3D printing
- Electronics design
What tasks need to be completed?
- Adhesion flanges acrylic with PVC pipe
- Integration of electronic components
- Software for monitoring and remote control
What questions need to be answered?
- Does the structure is well insulated?
What is the schedule?
- This is the initially proposed schedule:
How will it be evaluated?
- At this stage of the project the operation of the electronics and the structure is evaluated.
