Components of Our UROV TRITON – Part 8 (Lights)

In the realm of underwater exploration, visibility is often limited, making it challenging to navigate and conduct tasks efficiently. We are using IP68 Waterproof Underwater Night Light in our UROV. Designed to withstand the harsh conditions of underwater environments, these night lights are engineered with durability and performance in mind. With a power rating of 3 watts and a voltage of…

Components of Our UROV TRITON – Part 5 (ESC)

ESCs are primarily used to control the speed and direction of the UROV’s propulsion motors. These motors drive the vehicle’s propellers, enabling it to move through the water. By adjusting the output signals to the ESCs, operators can control the thrust of the motors, allowing the UROV to move forward, backward, ascend, descend, or turn. ArduSub is designed to work…

Components of Our UROV TRITON – Part 4 (Raspberry Pi 4)

The Raspberry Pi 4 used for our UROV is like a credit card sized computer. It’s a powerhouse of computing capabilities with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 processor, ample RAM, and versatile I/O options. It’s the brain behind the operation, responsible for processing data from various sensors, controlling motors, camera and managing the communication systems. Linux, known for its stability and…

Components of Our UROV TRITON – Part 3 (Thrusters)

We’ve equipped our Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (UROV) with 8 (4 vertical and 4 vectored) Apisqueen U1 Underwater Thrusters. They are compact, powerful, and exceptionally efficient. It uses brushless motor. It is small in size and lightweight (15.84 ounces). It can operate within 12-24v AC current. Overall, eight thrusters are used to control the propulsion system each of which can…
