ROV

This requires at least 40W of heat dissipation, accomplished via the closed loop GPU waterblock with pump and radiator. Thruster shrouds are extruded ABS and utilize friction clamping to hold and orient commercially available, waterproof, bilge pump motors. Custom couplers attach propellers to the motor output shafts, and each thruster is mounted to a modular plate that allows for either angle adjustments of 15 degree increments or placement adjustment of 1/2 inch increments forward and backward along the motor axis. Custom electronic PCBs are stacked and connected to feed power directly to all components. The communication board incorporates wireless Bluetooth or USB programming, Ethernet communication, four camera inputs and two switchable output feeds, 16 pwm, pneumatic valve, or servo pins, and I2C breakout connections for sensors. The regulating board distributes power to the communication board, has temperature sensors on the regulators, and eight high-current custom H-bridge circuits, with current monitoring, to operate thruster motors.
