Story

The exploration of the marine depths are investigations of the physical, chemical and biological conditions of the seabed, for scientific or commercial reasons. Deep ocean exploration is a relatively recent human activity, so the deep sea remains unexplored in a large part of planet Earth.

That is why we have proposed to build an underwater robot for exploration, mapping and data collection and biological samples. This is possible thanks to the power of the AM335x 1GHz ARM® Cortex-A8 processor of the BeagleBone Green.

By National Geographic

Step 1: Design and Sketches

During different rains of ideas and consultations on the web, we decided to make our own design for the first prototype.

As well as finding a design of the objective that we want to build.

1 / 2 • We decided to opt for a heterogeneous and cubic structure

Step 2: Structure

the structure as in the previous images is appreciated, it is constructed of PVC pipes and unions easy to get in hardware stores. We also decided to give it a little color with a spray.

1 / 3 • Pipes, elbows and PVC T

Step 3: Taking and Recording IoT Data

It is essential that we have access to the information obtained in the depths that is why for our first prototype we have decided to implement the Helium System Kit due to its wide coverage and effectiveness.

1 / 2

We proceed to configure: in the Helium website we will find a brief tutorial to connect our Arduino to IoT: https://www.helium.com/dev

Step 2: Programming and Arduino Code

We will load the code left under the project in Arduino IDE.

Step 3: Engines and BeagleBone Green

It is necessary that we have the Cape Bridge Motor to connect and control the engines through the BeagleBone.

We proceed to connect the motors

1 / 2

Step 4: Code BeagleBone Green

We load the respective code left below the project.

Step 5: Connect Arduino to BeagleBone Green

Since the Helium device does not have direct connectivity to BeagleBone, we proceed to make a connection between the two devices in order to share data and information during its operation.

/*Accept command from BBB via Serial
*Turns on/off on-board LED
*by OP from teachmemicro.com */
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(8, 7); // RX, TX
char inChar;
void setup()
{
// Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Awaiting command from the Almighty BBB...");
// set the data rate for the SoftwareSerial port
mySerial.begin(9600);
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() // run over and over
{
if (mySerial.available()){
inChar = (char)mySerial.read();
if(inChar=='1'){
Serial.print("The Almighty BBB said Let There Be Light! ");
Serial.println("Then there was light!");
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
}else if(inChar =='0'){
Serial.print("The Almighty BBB said Let There Be Darkness! ");
Serial.println("Then darkness commenced!"); 
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
}else{
Serial.print("The Almighty BBB said Something! ");
Serial.println("We fear that something!"); 
}
}
}

Step 6: Sensors and Meters

We will use the following sensors:

Water level
Temperature
Air quality
Sunlight
UV
Multichannel gas

All these sensors will be in a homemade storage chamber made with a bottle.

A moderate amount of water enters the bottle and is studied by the sensors.

Step 7: Waterproofing

Proceed to seal or waterproof all devices and sensors to prevent water seepage.

Step 7, 8, 9, 10: COMING SOON!

Due to the fact that in our country several inconveniences and natural catastrophes have occurred in the last months, it has been difficult for us to work entirely in this great project.

We hope to share the rest of the process of this great idea in the next week!

UPDATE: 10/30/2018

We are working on our prototype to implement a camera or cartography sensor to map and have a dimensional image of the depths to be studied. We hope to share them this week!

Conclusions:

We have designed and built an underwater robot capable of monitoring and taking samples in the depths of our waters. We can also say that we are contributing significantly to the development of ideas in the field of engineering and technology by encouraging the children of the schools that helped us build this project.

With the support of more than 30 children, we managed to build and at the same time teach the operation of the products and devices as well as a bit of basic programming. We hope to continue sharing in this fascinating way with the children and young people of the public schools of my country.

We hope everyone has fun building projects for this challenge as we have done.

Thanks ARM! For making all this possible.
