SUMMARY:TriggerFish ROV Workshop: Intermediate Level
DTSTAMP:20140425T161230
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION: This workshop introduces participants to the SeaMA
 TE TriggerFish ROV control system and the art of accomplishing both bi-dire
 ctional motor speed control using the K-166 motor controller and precision 
 piloting using joysticks (no programming required).  Participants will also
  build the MATE Electrical Trainer\, a printed circuit board that provides 
 a platform for understanding common electrical components\, practicing thro
 ugh-hole soldering\, and introducing more advanced electronics\, such as pa
 rallel and series circuits\, pulse width modulation and more.
\n
\nWorkshop
  Objectives
\n
\n
\n	Create an ROV control system using joysticks and varia
 ble speed controllers and understand how these can be used to achieve preci
 sion piloting.
\n	Understand how printed circuit boards (PCB) and common el
 ectrical components can be combined to regulate motor speed.
\n	Demonstrate
  safe and effective techniques for through-hole soldering.
\n	Understand th
 e benefits of and configurations for adding a fourth motor to a ROV.
\n	Des
 ign and build a functional manipulator using hand-powered syringe pneumatic
 s.
\n	Waterproof and add basic sensors\, such as cameras and temperature pr
 obes\, to the ROV.
\n	Create a fully functional\, joystick-controlled ROV c
 apable of measuring water temperature and collecting samples from the “se
 afloor.”
\n
\n
\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND: Educators who have experience buildin
 g simple switch box ROV controllers or faculty who have a background teachi
 ng electronics\, physics\, or a related discipline.  All faculty attending 
 should have concrete plans to implement these activities in the following a
 cademic year.  If you are new to ROV building\, we recommend that you atten
 d one of our regional short workshops (3 hours to 2 days)​.
\n
\nApplicat
 ions are due April 10th\, but will be accepted until the workshop is full.
