Thanks for watching!
------------------------------------------------EDIT----------------------------------------------------
BlueRobotics have contacted me and have explained and corrected some of the points made in this video. Here is what they have told me:
You are correct that we do not have any current documentation regarding the installation of the Pixhawk if it is customer supplied. We did previously have these instructions up in our older documentation (linked as prior to March 2017 on the kit assembly page). However, in the move to shipping a fully assembled electronics tray we overlooked the still present need for these more detailed instructions in cases such as yours. We will be adding a link back to these steps in the current instructions.
Labeling the ESC wires is definitely needed. I often take apart and reassemble electronics trays during development work on our own ROVs, and this is my greatest headache as well. Adding sticker labels to the end of each of the ESC wires is a great idea, and we will be doing this in the future. A little flag at the end will save much time, for our customers and ourselves.
The thruster containers should have been labelled "CW" or "CCW" for each of the propeller directions, was this not the case for your kit? [Yes, BlueRobotics are absolutely correct, I forgot to mention the container which easily identify the motors]There also should have been an included #1 Phillips head driver for the fairing screws. Philips head screws can be easy to strip if not used with the correct driver size. Due to these screws being self tapping, leaving the heads as Phillips rather than hex to prevent over-tightening is necessary.
It is possible that your buoyancy foam may have been cut too large. We spec the foam to be cut such that when pushed all the way into the fairing, the bottom sits inside the bottom of the fairing such that it just clears the screw heads and zip ties. We have been checking that the foam is cut to the correct size, but it looks like a few got away from us. The foam can easily be cut or sanded a bit for proper clearance if necessary.
The foam we use in the BlueROV2 is not actually "syntactic" foam, which is a hard foam comprised of tiny hollow ceramic spheres. Rather, it is a high density closed cell urethane foam. The analog camera option in the standard electronics package is an analog camera, thus it does not display a digital 720p resolution. Rather, the display signal is analog 700TVL with 700 vertical lines. Just wanted to clear up those couple points! You also don't need to worry about using a Flathead screwdriver to help in opening the enclosures, the acrylic won't be dented, but if it is metal the aluminum may get a few scratches. - Věda a technologie
Thank you very much for providing all of us interested, such great detailed info!
Great stuff, thanks for sharing.
Well done .I admire your gong ho attitude even though you did not have good directions
Good job
Good vid did you do a full review, how would you rate the build quality.
It is possible to get that assembly procedure you have on the ipad?
The buoyancy foam screws are much more manageable (in terms of stripping) with the proper sized driver...
Theres a good chance your buoyancy foam might have been cut a bit out of spec - it's quite easy to sand down, and you should still be plenty buoyant overall. If nothing else, if you remove to much removing some of the bottom trim weights is easy.
The loop for the tether is a strain relief, as you mention, mainly to prevent delaminating from the potting compound under stress.
Great build and video!
Hello Anthony,
Thanks! Your explanation about the foam makes sense. Regarding the screws, I completely understand that it is user error that causes stripping but I was using the driver that was provided with the kit. All I'm saying is that a torx screw would be so much easier to install.
I don't disagree! I'm surprised you used the driver in the kit - didn't hear that on the first play through. Happy diving!
Thanks, you too! BlueRobotics did actually inform me of the reason behind Philips head screws; it is to prevent over-tightening
Sir can i able to get the pdf your looking at to build the ROV
I can only hope to somehow connect a bouy with a straight arm to the item of interest
Hi there, I have the same ROV and assembled it the same way, how do you get yours to hover?
Great! Can you share the ebay link of your pump please?
How can I put in and link the battery
amazing! looks good and usable but damn that price
Does it has pitch control, if yes how?
can instead of Fathom-X Tether Interface wifi router?
Hello, do you have any idea what kind of raspberry pi is used in this model?
It is a Raspberry 3
There are 4 nave motors at 45 deg, (I assume). can you pan (Travel sideways down the side of a boat hull) with this configuration?.
How do you know this is the most advanced ?
Hola, seria fantastico si alguien lo hace en habla ispana o lo traduce en español latino. Muchas gracias
Hola Bryan! Lo haremos pronto para que puedan tenerlo en habla hispana
ou trouver ce kit a l achat??
Vous pouvez l’acheter ici: www.bluerobotics.com/store/rov/bluerov2/bluerov2/
I have 4 submersibles and not one heavy enough to ad a salvage 'claw. to.
Link?
starting at $2800 ouch!
One visit to an emergency room can be twice that.

Hi sir. My self Vinith kumar cs . I am pursuing my final year B-Tech. I am doing my final year project on ROV. can you help us out
Absolutely, what can I help you with?
Wat exactly your looking for, so even I can help u, over ROV.
What type of motor used ?
bro doing same project using rasp,pixhawk but the physical structures are made by us it is no problem we used different ESC not bluerovs ESC so its not calibrating can you please help me

Tight, but not too tight. Hmm, if only there were a tool that could measure how much torque you were putting on a screw, and if the engineers could provide a value to each screw position so that it was just perfect. You could even call it a... "torque wrench". sorry, crazy talking here, my bad.
Is this a dead Channel?
