    Hey Peter, I noticed some flickering in the video feed when you were toggling the controller switches. That is probably due to the way you wired the signals to the relays. The ethernet cable has 4 differential pairs. Because the video ground isn't isolated there is crosstalk that will increase with the cable length when ever the switch state changes. This is due to an induced magnetic field along the wire from the current to switch the relay. There will be a voltage spike in nearby wires. If the wire gets long enough the voltage spike may damage the video camera or display circuit. A better circuit that would take advantage of the differential pairs and isolate the video lines is possible. It is still analogue and cheap. You need double pole double throw switches and four diodes per relay. Each switch uses a coupled wire pair in the ethernet cable, leaving one pair for the video. If you are interested I can figure out how to send you a schematic.

      Motor options , its a base 3 number, 3x3x3 ,27 so in binary + or - it can be achived with 5 bits . I could see there was a solution but havent formulated the diode logic, is there a 5 bit solution I wonder with diodes and switches. No rely allowed.

    • @fookingsog
      @fookingsog Před 2 lety +27

      Learn how/why UTP was designed. Each color pair has a different twist ratio to other pairs. Twist puts noise 180° out of phase thus nulling/negating said "noise"... *exactly* why UTP was designed!!! That being said, if the system is designed correctly, the control cable will *only* be low voltage controlling the relays within the sub. It appears that the video *flicker/jitter* is "back emf" when motor direction is switched. This most likely can be remedied with a variety of simple ferrite chokes and capacitors across the terminals of the motor to eliminate the voltage interference.

    • @lukekamrath8795

      @@beautifulsmall Each relay needs three states, off, forward, reverse. The relays have three pins, a common ground, and a pin to energize each state.
      The trick is in the DPDT switches which can be wired directly to a battery in such a way that they send three states on two wires, off, powered, and inverted powered.
      (a) +vss ------ [ ] [ ] ------ (d) - gnd
      (b) s left ----- [ ] [ ] ------ (e) s right
      (c) - gnd ----- [ ] [ ] ------ (f) + vss
      In the center position, pins (b) and (e) are unconnected.
      In the up position, pin (b) is connected to +vss while pin (e) is connected to -gnd.
      In the down position, pin (b) is connected to -gnd while pin (e) is connected to +vss.
      With this setup you can send a Tri-state signal over two wires with a single switch.
      The next trick is decoding the Tri-state signal back to two common ground pins for the relay which is where the diodes come in.
      The common ground of the relay is connected to (b) and (e) at the other end of the ethernet cable through two diodes like:
      (b)--------------(e)
      Then the forward pin of the relay gets a single diode.
      (b)-------|>--------(forward)
      Same for reverse
      (e)-------|>--------(reverse)
      Put that circuit into LT-Spice and it decodes the tri-state signal nicely.
      I don't know if the relay coils have flyback diodes built in but those are also necessary whenever a coil is de-energized it wants to stay on due to the magnetic field and will cause voltage spikes when turned off. The flyback diode "eats" the reverse current when the coil is de-energized and otherwise does not interfere with normal operation.

      probably just needs some 1uF snubber caps on the switches and if those relays are induction and not SSRs some flyback diodes on there and that would kill the video interference.

    I made a similar ROV about 5 years ago using regular RC airplane parts. You can use a flight controller for stabilized autonomous operation, SBUS, etc. I used a modified scuba regulator, one of those small spare air tanks, and a pressure relief valve to make an automatic pressurization system which enabled the ROV to go 329 feet deep without any problems. The possibilities are endless. The one drawback is that you will need a thin antenna wire attached to the ROV with a small surface float and antenna so that it can use GPS for autonomous navigation, video, and PWM/SBUS signals. What is really cool is that one can send regular radio signals for a short distance underwater, allowing you to use a camera without penetrating the hull of the ROV with the camera wire. This only works for a very short distance. If you want longer distances, you have to use low frequencies which will immediately draw the attention of Federal authorities which strictly control such frequencies for military submarines.
    You can fly underwater with an ROV just as you can fly in the air with a quad or plane. In fact, it is actually better because there are few if any restrictions so far. But, I have to caution everyone that the government is aware of just how dangerous such technology can be in the wrong hands.

    I worked with one ROV when I was a professionnal diver. The ROV was slightly positive and a motor on top would make it go down or boyant (or neutral). If the ROV failed and was out of electricity ,it
    would come up to the surface because of its positive boyancy. It worked very well .

Even without buckling effects (which does make it worse), its indeed going to scale poorly due to several physics effects like the one you mentioned on top of pressure vessel physics.

    This is good inspiration for a project I've had marinating in my brain for a couple years now. The original plan was to build a sort of bathysphere out of steel pipe, just containing power and whatever electronics were required for lights, sensors, video, etc. It wouldn't be controllable, obviously, but since my interest is just having a look at lake bottoms or maybe the seafloor, it wouldn't really need to be, and it'd be cheap.
    The Ethernet cable is a great idea, since I hadn't figured out how to get live video from the thing. And the PVC's a lot cheaper than iron pipe. If I fill it with mineral oil and evacuate all the air bubbles, theoretically, I should be able to go to almost unlimited depth.
    It remains to be seen if my attention span will stay in one place long enough to actually get it done, though...

    Fantastic utilization of the ethernet wire with your submarine. If you were to improve on this, I would suggest looking into using a serial pin connector, which contains 9 pins. This would allow you to send 12V to the camera without having the need to attach a secondary battery onto the submarine.

For anyone else reading they are conveniently named "buck converters" (although not named for their price, its referring to boost/buck voltage changes), and for around $1.50 I try to keep combination boost/buck converters so they can power any output voltage from any input voltage for typical ranges I use. FPV cams barely pull anything, so yeah that's the way to do it, also simplifies wiring.

    Couple this with side-scan sonar to find targets and this would be pretty neat to explore areas. You could run the side-scan either from your boat OR figure out a way to mount it into the sub. Also a downward facing fish eye lens camera would be handy for scanning the bottom. Maybe on some sort of gimbal for a co-pilot to operate.

    I've been doing a lot of metal detecting over here on the beaches of Maui finding all kinds of coins(some vintage/valuable), jewelry, fishing gear, and a million bottle caps and other trash of course. I don't yet have a waterproof one but you got me thinking maybe I should make a submarine just like this with a waterproof metal detector and a magnet. I am told that in the ocean at the beaches with strong surf breaks is where you find all the jewelry because the waves knock it off of people's bodies. While snorkeling can be fun and effective, I think a submarine would be the coolest way to treasure hunt.

    That's awesome. The biggest thing that I'd change would be the control system. You could have put a couple ESP32 or similar on it, to send signals to it. Nothing fancy, just hook your switches to one, and make that into commands to send down to the ROV. An ESP32 on the ROV would just take the commands, and run the relays. The biggest things would be that you wouldn't get the interference from your command inputs, and you'd be down to using 4 wires. Even thought the ESP32 have WiFi and BT radios, the water would kill the range.
    That would be a trivial amount of programming. You aren't programming a sub with sensors, you're just programming a really cheap wired remote control.
    I think you already knew most of that, I'm just saying it for everyone else reading this. :)
    I'm in Florida, and you went past me going from Miami to Weeki Wachee. If you wanted help doing that for a future project, I'd love to help. I kinda assume this one is done, so I can't help much with it.

    I had an awesome idea for improving your ability to recover "treasure." You could develop a separate device, which you use the ROV to deliver. The device itself would have 2 distinct functions:
    Function 1:
    a "grasper" or "anchor" (either a magnet, for suitable material, or a "claw" of some sort, perhaps with an automatic "trigger" that causes the mechanism to close).
    Function 2:
    an expandable/elastic bladder connected via remotely actuated valve to a C02 cartridge or some other source of compressed gas.
    The idea being that you use the ROV to attach the device to the targeted "treasure" via the magnet or "claw," then trigger the valve actuator to expand the bladder, which should theoretically lift the "treasure" to the surface.
    Thoughts?

  • @dpidcoe
    @dpidcoe Před 2 lety +8

    Incorporating a pair of cheap microcontrollers (there are plenty of arduino knockoffs for less than $10) would make it significantly better with few changes:
    - Microcontroller at the control box to monitor the button presses
    - Button presses are converted to a single byte by the microcontroller, with each bit representing on/off for one of the motors
    - Single byte is sent down the ethernet cable using a single pair of wires and a protocol like RS485 (you may need some RS232RS485 converter chips, they're a few cents) at a rate of ~50-100hz
    - Byte is received by microcontroller onboard the sub, at which point that microcontroller interprets it and toggles the motor relays accordingly
    This means you only need two wires in the tether for your motor control, and if your camera is just a ground and a data line (remember, RS485 is a differential pair so you have no ground from it), you could drop from an ethernet cable to a 4 conductor phone cable, making your tether lighter and cheaper. You'd also greatly reduce the camera flickering when you toggle the relays.

    You'll need larger ballast in order to bring heaver objects to the surface so you can inject more air and increase your buoyancy, those tiny ballast seem way to small anyways.
