![]() It is monitored by the raspberry Pi, which can shut off the power to the entire device if the voltage falls beneath a desirable level or if the cells are unbalanced. The battery is currently a 11.1V 5000mAh 3s2p battery made form 18650 cells. It also has the ability to drive 5 brushless motors with propellers and to communicate with the base station along with sending live HD video from the camera via a tether.īattery and circuit for turning on the drone: The electronics in the CPS 5 allow for precise battery monitoring, measuring the motion parameters of the device, along with depth. 2x 3W LEDs (TBD)ġh battery life - Battery allowing for over an 1h of swimming (6x 18650) ![]() Lights - Front facing lights that allow swimming in very dark environments. Self leveling - Self leveling provides satisfying, predictable and responsive movement, which makes CPS 5 easy to use even for an absolute beginner.ĭepth hold - Combined with the self leveling mode it enables swimming in an extremely stable position. ![]() Tilting camera - Low light capable camera, that is additionally able to tilt up and down, providing more recording angles and close inspection possibility. You can see the gist of it in the video above.ġ00m depth - The drone is tested to the pressure of 100m water depth, which is (fun fact) over 2 times the average depth of Earth’s lakes. The drone is operated with a remote controller and live video feed. We want to create a community of CPS users which would modify and develop their own designs for CPS 5. It is a drone that is at the same time affordable, customizable and user friendly. We post many updates and cool videos on our Instagram and YouTube UPDATE: We ended up releasing the CPS 5 course, where we have all of the instruction manuals, 3D models, software for the CPS 5, as well as teach about how underwater drones work. CPS 5 is the first project of our underwater drone.
