Hi there, as its now winter here in germany i wanted to start a project which i had in mind for quite a while now. I recently got a Garmin 8416 with gt56 transducer for my little boat for wrecksearch. So I thougt could I build myself a towfish for a gt56 transducer? I have seen that some of you in this forum already build themself a towfish. So i wanted to ask for any tips or maybe even plans if someone would be sharing his. Thank you in advance! Best regards, Andreas 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic ..read more

I have 4 trident rovs but 2 of them have been damaged. We use them for Diver safety reasons. One went into a large running pump and was shaved on the bow. Another one got sucked through a hydro turbine. I like them because of their thin size. They can fit in small pipes and between tight beams. I have the parts from them but the bodies are damaged. I would buy used or new if I could? Online they have new packages (amazon), but I don’t need controllers. Thanks for your help. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic ..read more

I’m hoping to gain some insight into a problem I’m having using multiple Tridents in one location. I do marine education outreach programs and we would like to have two Tridents set up at one table to show the live feeds on two monitors. I have attempted this and I believe that both wifi topside units are using the same frequency to transmit the live feed. Only one of the Tridents will connect fully (showing the 3 green lights) and show the live feed. The Trident that will not connect shows only 2 green lights. If I have the Tridents setup about 150 feet apart along the dock I do not experienc ..read more

Hi all, We are a company that conduct inspections in both potable water and raw water assets in the UK & Ireland. We are currently running a fleet of two Video Ray Pro 4’s, One BlueROV2 with the OTPS Topside Powered Tether Kit, and one Battery Powered BlueROV2. We are looking to upgrade the two video rays - possibly to a Video Ray Pro 5. However, I was wondering if the forum knew of any alternatives for non-battery, tethered ROV’s currently available? Many Thanks, Steve Lee, Panton Mcleod 3 posts - 2 participants Read full topic ..read more

I was able to get it to connect to an Ipad I have, it shows firmware 1.4.1 (719eb7). None of the controls work and I get an error that it should be firmware 1.8.14 (I think) but no where does it allow me to perform a firmware update. Is there a way to update it so it will do something? 2 posts - 1 participant Read full topic ..read more

The “OpenROV” link on the top left of every page leads to https://openrov.com, which has a 404 error page. I tried to put a screenshot of the error, but my account is limited to one picture per post. There is no content. Maybe the link should lead to main page of the forum instead? 5 posts - 4 participants Read full topic ..read more

I’m planning to build something similar to the original openrov but using Ardusub and a Pixhawk flight control paired with a raspberry pi. I’ve got most of the parts I need except for a good watertight enclosure. Blue Robotics makes some sweet enclosures but they cost several hundred dollars and I just can’t justify that. How does the enclosure work on the original openrov? Looks like a cast acrylic tube and some sort of end caps with a oring seal? Any insight or pics would be helpful. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic ..read more

Hey All, I realise that the support has dried up but I got a trident from my Dad who supported the kickstarter and never charged the unit. I installed the gen2 motor kit that was in the box and connected to charge the unit. The LED on the charger goes red for a moment, the headlights blink on then go off and the light goes green. I see no lights when connecting the topside unit. I can see 12.6v across two of the pins on the charge cable, but only see 0.2v if I probe the matching pins on the trident. Because there is no real detailed pinouts of the teather I am really just probing and guessing ..read more
