Streamlined ROV design

Thanks for the support with this design.

No worries, always interesting to see new ideas, and help flesh them out a bit

Given that any step I take in seeing this one released in the wild would be expensive, I will probably put it on the back burner and concentrate on some of the other things that I think need to happen to make the total BR package the units of choice.

Fair enough - not every project needs to end with a physical functioning product, and no doubt the design process has been both challenging and rewarding already

I have been wanting to get an ipad pro set up instead of what I believe to be a major weakness and that is that as users, we are very commonly exposing an open laptop to salt air.

Ok then. We don’t currently directly support tablet/mobile control, but it is on the cards.

There’s also @tunadiver’s iPad app that you might be interested in, which is intended as a QGroundControl alternative

I have attached a pic showing the hatch properly joined and a cut away showing the curvature. That cross shape you saw in the other pics is an artefact left from taking screenshots before I had joined the four sections I design in before joining.

Ahh I see, makes sense. That’s indeed a very large hatch then - I imagine the waterproofing would be quite a challenge, and making it simple to open/close could be as well
