Jim N. commented on David Lang's blog post Underwater Internet?"Those systems use acoustic modems which are bandwidth limited. Wireless, as in WiFi, etc, is not used due to attenuation in water. It's important to note that wireless in air versus water are 2 different application domains, using two different…"

Glad to be here! It's encouraging to us to find groups like yours. And we really appreciate your spirit of sharing ideas and plansand failures and success... and... well, just about everything that goes into the making of a DIY project. :)

gabriella levine said… Hey David -
I heard you were at the Open Hardware Summit - And I think that we were standing next to a project at the end of the day - I cant remember which one - but (during the demos) - Am I correct? perhaps it was someone else, but I thought that later when looking at your site yesterday -
Anyway - I would LOVE to hear, see, experience... some openROV ... I will be at Maker Faire tomrorow - so , I think you are also? I'll come say hi...
Great,
gabriella
Really look forward to seeing

Adam said… - David, I haven't test or even built much of the prototype yet. It was supposed to be a quick and dirty build to get my feet wet, but I didn't get it built before my son was born. I'm finally getting back to it, although I think I'm going to make the frame bigger so I have some room to add new systems as I go.
