Feels like swimming under water !!
The Objective of the Project is to Assemble and operate Bluerover, an underwater roverfor exploring open waters.
Blue rover is a high performance vehicle, With a 8-thruster vectored configuration, open-source electronics and software, and plenty of expandability, it's the perfect ROV for inspections, research, and adventuring , controlled by a Xbox controller and Qground control
Breakdown
This underwater rover runs on a 14.8v, 15.6Ah battery
The microprocessor used for this is Raspberry pi with a pixhawk navigation stack
8 thrusters (4 thrusters rotates clockwise & 4 thrusters rotates anticlockwise) controlled by 40A , 7-26v Electronic Speed Control
Lumen Subsea lights
Gripper
Tethered connection
5.5MP Raspberry pi camera with 180 degree sweep
Ping Sonar
Temperature Sensor
Pressure Sensor & depth sensor
Water leak system
Buoyancy float and ballast weights
Learned how this rover works and how the connections are made by reading blue prints and schmatics
Started assembling the rover frame, Thrusters, Sonar and the lights
Started connecting the temperature sensor, pressure sensor, depth sensor and thrusters to the Electronic Speed Control.
Completed assembling by confirming that all the systems are working and the rover is calibrated using the Qground control software and Xbox joystick.
