Looking for Integration help for a custom lander application

General Discussion Research
1

I am looking for someone to contract to help us build a custom lander platform made primarily with blue robotics components. Please contact me if you think this is in your wheelhouse. Product will be used for research work - need a prototype followed by several working reliable units

Key components

  1. system will be placed on the seabed by diver and video record and log data from sensor set for up to 5 days
  2. need to log internally video every 6 hours and sensors every 5 minutes
  3. sensor 1 is a flow sensor that outputs flow rate in modbus rs485
  4. sensor 2 is a bubble sensor that outputs in serial rs232
  5. sensor 3 is a combined conductivity, temperature and depth and outputs in serial rs232
  6. sensor 4 is same as sensor 3

Thanks for any help or suggestions of someone I can contact

Hi @Shawn-Gravity -

I’ve recently started working on a DropCam “kit” that houses a Blue Robotics battery, camera, and Raspberry Pi, with an extension that allows configuration of video or still snapshots. The battery life only lasts about 40 hours, so for your application. you’ll likely need to do something clever to turn off the Pi, or whatever is capturing video, when not in use - or use a much larger enclosure and hold more batteries!

Bringing in your sensor data via USB adapters is likely the easiest path…

A DIY version should be fairly straightforward!

Hi!

New to the forum but not new to deep sea robotics :slight_smile:

Whats the main isue you need help with? Everything, the housing, the programmering, battery or tether config or something else? I see allot of designen choises and different ways of solving the isue.
