    Re: It's been a while...

    Charles,

    Sounds very nice.
    I could use the Altimeter in the Magnetometer (when the high voltage does not influence the Speake sensors)
    What compiler are you using for the PIC ?
    I using PICBASIC PRO
    I really like it, makes programming very easy because I have always programmed in QBASIC and just learned Visual Basic.
    I really like these PIC thingies... use them for everything.

    If you are planning to build a Magnetometer using the Speake sensors wait with that.
    I can give you my PCB layout and PIC hex file and Visiual basic program.
    I wrote the visual basic program for me alone so I did not put any "monkey proof" routines in it.
    But I do not expect big problems...

    Sounds you are just doing exactly the same projects as I do.
    The ROV thing is also beginning to take shape.
    I want it to 'have a look' at the mag hits.
    Cannot throw my poor girlfriend overboard every time I get a signal on the Mag. ;-))
    So it only has 1 camera, 2x 20 Watt lights and 7 simple thrusters and 4x 12V/7Ah batteries.

    With all this work I get a lot of experience with PIC programming and Visual Basic.
    Because of this I have readjusted my designs for the SSS several times.

    The SSS is the goal of this all.
    One day I will be the proud owner of a Sidescan Sonar !!! (hehe)

    Oops... my manager just walked in...

    Best regards, Jan

      Charles,

      I forgot to answer your question about the connectors I am using

      I use connectors from DEV-PEIN
      The connectors are watertight to 10 bars

      Have a look at the link below.
