Hello everyone
I have spent numerous hours on the net searching for answers to my Arduino questions.
I am sure there are som very bright brains here that will know how to guide me on my way.
Short story:
I am designing a remotely Operated Vehicle ROV. The ROV will have a tether to the surface where it will be controlled via a laptop and QGC Control software. The signals are converted from ethernet to HomePlug at the surface and converted back again inside the ROV. The signals go via an unshielded twisted pair cable.
I do have one twisted pair in spare.
Operating the ROV with motors lights and camera is all fine.
The challenge:
What I want to do next, set beside the ROV operating system, is to use Arduino to control extra servos, lights, and motors. The servos and motors and lights will all be subsea connected to the ROV and I want to be able to set power them on and off, then control the speed and rotation of the motors and position of the servos, dim the lights, etc from the surface.
To control them I was hoping to use a simple control board with pots and buttons or even a PS4 controller.
can someone aloborate on this ?
Thank yoy
To control the the motors, servos and light switches
