The PC screen is a very bad display in broad daylight that I would have to work around. All I need is a way to control the ROV and a way to see the display coming back up. I was approaching things from the standpoint of 'I have a laptop I can use, so.' but the more I think about it, the more I think it logically isn't required. Break things down to the actual requirements and deal with each one separately in the most efficient way. Toothed then it may appear to the user that the pc was doing the controlling.Įxactly what I was thinking.
That way any pc can see all the goodies but wouldn't be controlling anything. However maybe using your method you could use a wifi device on the arduino and stream the video and telemetry data. I suppose a lot of folk use a pc or laptop due to the fact they already have them and they've got good big displays. I just learned about this option so I just wanted to share it. Sorry if this is so painfully obvious to some of you that you are bored already.
I had been trying to find way to do this for a while so that I didn't have to rely on my laptop for this part (and could potentially set up a separate display option like a hood or video goggles or something so I could see even on a bright sunny day). You still need to get the information down the tether (serial/Ethernet, whatever) and you still need some way to display your video and any telemetry, but this will remove a lot of the higher level coding that most of us have to do (or in my case, have largely done) and will enable us to use an intuitive UI device and send signals directly down the wire.
ARDUINO USB HOST SHIELD ADAFRUIT BLUETOOTH
You can use a USB bluetooth dongle to make it a wireless connection (Arduino topside in a sealed plastic container, using Xbox controller wirelessly.). There is support for PS3, XBOX, joystick and a lot of other USB devices. Here's some information and links to some example projects and code: I just wanted to let you know in case you're interested, there are lots of options for controlling something using an Arduino hooked directly to a gamepad controller by using the USB host shield.
