Aside from being engaging and fun, SeaPerch is a true DIY (Do-It- Yourself) program; students and teachers need to waterproof motors, affix propellers, and build electronics control boxes before operating the robots they design and build.
To comfortably operate your ROV, a convenient controller is essential. In this guide, we'll show you how to create a user-friendly ROV controller using a compact box and momentary buttons. This streamlined interface will ensure precise control of your ROV. Let's get started on assembling your custom ROV controller. Building the ROV Controller:
OpenROV is a DIY telerobotics community centered around underwater exploration & adventure. Our forum is the primary place for community interaction and we encourage you to join us there! Introduction. This repository contains the CAD files for the different versions of the OpenROV DIY Kit. Resources. Bill of Materials. Electronics files. Notes.
Right now you should have a completed ROV body, a working controller and motors (attached directly to the controller), and an underwater camera. In this step we will disconnect the motors, add 10-50 ft of wire (soldering the connections), and waterproofing the soldered connection using shrink tubing.
This setup allows for precise and responsive control of the ROV's movements and functions. I've also 3D printed a phone mount for the Flysky transmitter. The FPV feed from the ROV can be viewed on the phone using an OTG converter, making it easy to see what's happening underwater in real-time.

The plywood slips into the 3 inch mouth of a plastic three gallon jug. The TV screen from the control box had to be replaced with a video transmitter. And the RC transmitter (the only part still on shore) now has a tablet with video receiver mounted on top. The tablet can optionally record the video it displays.
