ROV ( Underwater Robot Development )

Hi,

I know there must be a few of you out there that are interested in ROVs, this is something i have been involved in for the past 10 years, we have just comlpeted the overall build for a small ROV for educational uses ie (non profit), for schools and we will be putting this unit out free of charge to give the kids a better understanding of what is under the oceans lakes and so on…

I am looking for people that may be interested in assisting us with the controland software based personnel, as our group consists of electricians and mechanics, but no software people so at the moment our ROV is without contol…

We have purchaced a Polo SSC and a serial compass with tilt and temp, we would like to have this controlled via a usb game pad, with the video feed from the onboard camera up on the laptop screen as well, can any one help us ??

also i will be adding the pictures soon so watch this space…

Thankyou in advance and kind regards from all at the ORCA team…
