Currently building an ROV up here in NW Washington State. Been looking at using wifi at a close distance as a means to compartmentalize the more expensive components without compromising water tightness. Props to you for being one of the first to show this off in a DIY setting and thank you for the inspiration!!
So that blue cable you have connected to the ROV is just a tether? This was completely wireless? Also, have you heard of blue light communication? If so, how feasible do you think creating one as a DIY project is?
Have you ever tried using 3M Fluorinert FC 84 instead of trying to keep things dry? The FC 84 is known as Dry water and is a liquid dielectric and would essentially allow for incompressible protection and thermal cooling for the electronics. I use this material to flood all my quartz watches to make them 100% waterproof. Using the fluorinert is one option. Any other engineered fluid used for cooling computers could be explored as well, but the interaction with certain plastics would need to be checked. The 3M FC84 is inert and should be comparable with most everything.
I’ll check it out! Thanks for the suggestion. Keeping things dry can be a hassle, but I will say it’s nice for experimental projects like this so I don’t have to dig parts out of a matrix. But once I have this circuit locked down, I’ll definitely give it a try!
@@bluedotrov9171 the beauty of the FC84 is you simply pour it out if you need to alter the electronics. It leaves no residue. It’s volatile so you don’t want to leave it out it will evaporate. Non reactive liquid dielectrics are neat and useful

Nice work!
Haha the occy!! Subscribed, looks like a goldmine of info
This is the most advanced diy Rov
This is quality content right here 👍
If you untether the ROV will it work under WiFi control --??
This is getting way too little attention! Way cool project!
Thank you so much man! I’m thrilled you enjoy it - more to come.
That octopus was freaking me out!
Nice,I am also try to make similar things.Are you form south Florida?
Your on your way to fame man keep it up.
Buddy some people are just to damn smart for their own good! Haha great work!!!!!
How much would be the cost of one of these
Engineering = SI Units 👍
Awesome!!!
