  1. Lost shipping containers lying 1.5 km down in the deep sea, as seen by a NOAA ROV. Washing machines, chest freezers, and refrigerators all over the place. So sad. We are destroying our world with greed.

  2. πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ TIL: πŸ›ΈπŸŒŠ A #NOAA #ROV explores abyssal plains near the #CookIslands in the #SouthPacific, mapping the deep seafloor and #water column with sensors while live streaming nearly daily through August 13. Divers have already spotted carnivorous #sponges that capture small #crustaceans, a surprising find for habitats once thought sparse.

  3. πŸŒŠπŸ¦‘ Sperm #whales consume massive amounts of colossal #squid, but we have rarely seen these giant #animals alive in the deep #ocean.

    Researchers are now using environmental #DNA to identify species by filtering genetic material directly from seawater samples. The process helps track known animals and search for unknown organisms.

  4. Lots of stuff in the latest @rpimag my bits are an article on getting started adding hardware to the #PicoCalc as well as the first of two parts tinkering on a larger underwater vehicle! #rov As an unexpected bonus the mighty Rob Miles has written an article about writing @FreeCAD macros with #python. As a shameless act of self preservation.. do consider a subscription (excellent Xmas gift) as it helps keep us writers employed!

  5. Just submitted part one of two of a larger budget underwater rover build to @rpimag Seems a good time to also say that issue 157 with the #opensource TOUV palm sized #rov project is now available as a free download! magazine.raspberrypi.com/issue

  6. Violent testing of a thruster for the larger underwater #ROV project... deffo some speed control needed, possibly redesign the prop with a lower pitch!

  7. Been designing a few more parts for the larger underwater #rov today. Also took this picture showing the small #TOUV rov I made (in this months @rpimag ) in comparison to the new larger one! #submersible #FreeCADFriday Happy weekend everyone!

  8. So I'm working on a larger underwater #ROV project. This morning a little job was to design a clamp to clamp some larger floatation tube sections to the smaller tubular chassis sections. Perfect little job for #FreeCAD and #3Dprinting.

  9. Just blogged about this fabulous #rp2350 #opensource controller system that @steamengineers built in response to my little Tiny Opensource Underwater Vehicle (TOUV) project. It's amazing when people get excited about stuff you make, and then respond by making something excellent that makes the whole project better! The little palm sized TOUV submarine is featured in this months @rpimag issue ICYMI. #underwater #rov #madewithfreecad #kicad

  10. This #FreeCADFriday I wanted to show off this assembly I made. It's a #Seaperch underwater #ROV chassis. The Seaperch design is regularly used in education/academic underwater challenges and I wanted to be able to model custom bits to the (made from PVC) tube frame. I only had to model 3 parts (including a parametric tube) so I could then use the newer Assembly workbench to put this all together. #CAD #STEM #STEAM

  11. Ah, sadness: the one time I actually need it (surveying boat keels for an upcoming co-op purchase), my chasing dory underwater drone seems to have fully died. I plugged it in to charge and it does not accept the charge - seems to be fully dead. I got a few good uses out of it, but alas, I don't know if I can repair it.

  12. And whilst I'm talking about #opensource hardware.. I've got a repo set up for the #TOUV (Tiny Opensource Underwater Vehicle). Documentation is lacking but if anyone is desperate to build one just chat to me in the meantime! I'll also have a tiny amount of kits for them @lpoolmakefest with a fair wind! Repo is here github.com/concretedog/Tiny-Op

    And if you dunno what this is... it't this super cute little underwater thang! #opensource #oshw #rov
