Also planning on building an Autonomous Sonar Boat. Purchased most of the supplies needed 3 years ago but got sidetracked building a house. Maybe 2024 will be the year I get it done and post the video of the process. I had planned on putting all of the electronics in the same box so I'll need to come up[with a way to shield the transducer cables with that single box. Also, I think I'm going to separate the drive power from the sonar's power with two different batteries.
Very nicely done. One suggestion or tip i would give you is to "better" level your audio in the video. Take a pair of nice headphones and never change the volume of them while editing, only change the volume of the clips themself to be equal in loudness. I always had to lower my volume when the music played and turn it up when your voice came back. Otherwise very impressive and you channel deserves way more follower!
Thanks for sharing! Very nice build. I have the parts to build a similar boat, patterned after Randy Mackay's boogie board boat. I just haven't gotten to it yet.
Hello, Thanks for your video, I'm working on a similar project, and can't open the Facebook webpage. Do you have the list of your electronics devices? thks in advance
it is interesting to learn that skid steer is not reliable for boats according to your experience but very reliable for ground vehicles. aluminum foil around wires, have you tried to ground foil which was attached to wires? you cannot put gps and compass module inside faraday cage, so you put them outside? will be great to chat to learn more
Are you sending the sonar data back as a live stream or is it just data collection? I'm asking as I look into an option to use this concept for Search & Rescue and so we can't wait till the mission is finished.
@redmaniacrc7929, I am working on a similar project and trying to add collision avoidance and a live sonar feed to the autonomous boat. Do you have a parts list for reference? Curious on some of the components you used. Thansk!
Hey buddy I don't know if you've ever heard of adventures with purpose they're a TH-cam channel that does underwater recoveries they really need something like you have built for when they can't get approval for them to physically be on the water I was curious if you could reach out to them and see if you might be able to help them with something like you built
Do you still have the build parts list and .STL's for your 3D printed files? Would love to utilize your great design for my project! Your FB link is no longer working. Thank you!

I like how you shared the problems that you had along the way. Thanks for keeping it real!
Awesome job makes me want to make a sonar boat now, or maybe canoe

Awesome video. I would love to connect with you.
Hey Doug, would love to chat with ya. I sent you an email.
Great video and build.
Beautiful and interesting video ❤
very good project, well done!
Hello,

thks in advance
Hello, i have exactly the same project. I will follow you.
Great video in every way. Thanks for sharing!
Interesting!
Nice build. I notice the build list is no longer available, would you mind repost it?
Got a ton of lakes I'm itching to explore where I live.
nice project)
Love it!
Fantastic job! Well done and keep the videos coming.👍
Hello and thank you for sharing this, could you update the link of the building parts? Best

Espectacular
Awesome demo. What software do you use to view the 3d data that you put in the video? Is it a particular format?
Are you sending the sonar data back as a live stream or is it just data collection?

grate video. the parts list link isn't working.
Hi, the link to FB doesn't work. Can't find anything
Do you have a sub sea back ground or is this just a hobby?
Curious how you calibrate the compass when on a larger USV boat. I am assuming you're using Pixhawk or Audrino or ??
do you have manual how to build like this ? your autonumous boat is interesting. it would benice if you make a video process, you have my subd.

I know they're on Facebook as well
Jared AWP founder is already expanding into sonar R/C boats do to grow the company. What do you think of Nick Rinn?
Do you still have the build parts list and .STL's for your 3D printed files? Would love to utilize your great design for my project! Your FB link is no longer working. Thank you!
how do you like Eastern Cali?
would you be interested in selling this system minus the boogie board?
Can i learn how to build that thing sir?.
Waves? Are you kidding me
