Get the Code
We use Github to host our code. Please visit the Github profile at: http://github.com/OpenROV

We've broken it up into 3 categories:


 * Hardware
 * Software
 * Electronics

The hardware section contains the CAD files for cutting the ROV. The software section contains the software for running the ROV (the software that runs on the on-board computer and Arduino). The electronics section contains the schematic files for the BeagleBone cape. Each section will probably be expanded, but we may combine some parts if it makes sense.

Get the tools
To work with the code above you need to download some software. Here below is a list of the software you might need.

Hardware
With hardware here we mean the body of the ROV. To open the "code" available you need a CAD software.

For the single parts you need to get Autodesk Inventor, while to open the laser cutting layout any 2D CAD, Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw will do.


 * Inventor viewer http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=10535296&siteID=123112
 * Autodesk Inventor 30 days trial http://usa.autodesk.com/autodesk-inventor/trial/
 * Inventor Fusion in technology preview (fully functional till beginning 2013 and works also on Mac) http://labs.autodesk.com/technologies/fusion/

Software
The software is made of two components: a Node.js application and a Arduino sketch.

To work with Node.js, any text editor will do (and if you want to start contributing and already know Node.js probably you already have your own favorite editor.

To work with the Arduino sketch, you need to download the Arduino IDE.

Please check the 'Installing the software' section

Electronics
The schematics for the only piece of custom electronics, the BeagleBone cape, are available both in Eagle format and in Fritzing format.
