CASMARINE 2018

We, as the Circuits and Systems Society under Yıldız Technical University IEEE Student Branch, are a group that conducts projects in the fields of electronics and software, provides free workshop and conducts R & D activities in this area. At this moment, we will participate the MATE-ROV Remote Controlled Underwater Unmanned Vehicle Competition, organized by Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE), sponsored by Engineering Technologies (EngTechs), which we attained this year and earned the third place in Turkey, We are continuing our efforts to participate in the contest to be held in the United States to represent our country around the world.

CAS MARINE 2017 uses eight thrusters controlled from an integrated electrical control board (Main Controller Board, MCB). Four of these thrusters are in charge of vertical movement while the others for two-dimensional horizontal movement. The mechanical frame and thrusters of CAS MARINE is fully manufactured using 3D printers and PLA material which is the mostly “green” filament obtained from galenic sources. The ROV is controlled via a controller station on the ground. This station communicates simultaneously with a movement controller switch board and the ROV. CAS MARINE ROV is monitored visually via two different high definition IP cameras. The software of the main controller board of the ROV is written in Keil µVision 5 using C programming language. The MCB is designed as two-layer PCB using Altium Designer, MCB is also responsible of all the underwater duties and the communication with the Ground Control Station.

We need a variety of support to product CASMARINE 2018. One of the most important of these supports is the electrical control system circuit boards, which are the main elements of our vehicle. We expect your company to support this issue. We would like you to examine our project and return to us as soon as possible. We're waiting for your support.
