"Thanks for pointing this one out David! I always like to take these opportunities to remind everyone that we could do much better in terms of prop design. There's definitely a more efficient design - probably different for the z xis prop, too -…"

David Murphy posted a blog postProp Adapter
Hi AllI think I found the 3.17mm shaft adapter that will work for the fans used on the OpneROV. Maybe someone can confirm this as I am using a different fan than the one on your build and can't do any measurements.I know this has been a bit of an issue with props coming off etc and hopefully this will be the fix:…See More
David Murphy posted a blog postStatic Electricity Discharge ( Best Practice)
After seeing that one owner of the ROV ran into issues with the malfunction of two Capes I thought it would be good to review the Issue of Static Electricity Discharge (ESD). Many folks, who have not worked or handled Electronic parts professionally, may not be familiar with (ESD) which is the Silent killer of electronic components. There are some best practices that everyone should follow including myself, which it tend to get lazy in at times. The worst time for this is the winter months when…See More
David Murphy commented on Mark Pereyda's blog post Pressure Testing Main Tube"Perfect thanks I just sent off a request for a quote to see how they price out from them. If they come in at that price range I am interested, so far the prices I have been getting are much higher. I will also check out Impulse Connectors.

David Murphy commented on Mark Pereyda's blog post Pressure Testing Main Tube"I see a connector sitting on the bench, is that a SeaCon connector. If not what is the type and price if you don't mind me asking. I have been looking for connectors myself."
David Murphy commented on Mark Pereyda's blog post Pressure Testing Main Tube"440' great test, I wonder what actually caused the failure, was it the tube or the end cap. Looks like the pressure forcing the end cap into the tube may have caused it to shear off the edges of the end cap."

Merrick commented on David Murphy's blog post My Build powered by OpenROV"Nice job David! Are those the Delta V rotors? I missed the conference call, so what type of brass props are you going to make/buy? How did you decide to breach the hull for motor wires/tether?
Look forward to your updates."

Dominik Fretz commented on David Murphy's blog post New Image works like a charm"Alejandro,
You are right, if you power the BB via USB, the camera probably won't work.
The other thing was that Brad used an outdated image.
Please use http://wp.nu/openrov-image-0"
Alejandro commented on David Murphy's blog post New Image works like a charm"I've had tons of issues with the camera on Ubuntu, but I believe it's due to me powering through USB and not the 5v barrel plug.
Just an idea to see if the camera works, try running motion. Obviously you'd have to change…"
Dominik Fretz commented on David Murphy's blog post New Image works like a charm"hum, thats strange. looks like it couldn't start mjpg_streamer.
Have you tried with rebooting the BB and just try to browse to <ip>:8080
Without running any scripts?"
Brad Demoe commented on David Murphy's blog post New Image works like a charm"And I don't have a proxy running."

My Build powered by OpenROV
Hi all
First off I really enjoyed watching the last conference call and seeing the work that has been done. Great job on the voltage monitoring and the new possibilities of tether connections. I just wanted to show a bit of my build to the team as I have taken a slightly different approach for a few different reasons. The first was because I came across two perfect Stainless steel tubes at my local scrap yard that fit the bill for what I wanted. Second reason was because I wanted to…
