Waterproof FPV Drone – Underwater Capable
Engineering a robust, waterproof FPV drone for all-weather and underwater flight capability.
Project Requirements
This project involves the complete build and configuration of a waterproof FPV drone. The goal was to overcome the challenges of RF transmission through water and protect sensitive electronics from moisture damage, enabling flight in rain or submersion.
The Challenge
Ensuring 100% water resistance for sensitive flight controllers and ESCs while maintaining cooling performance. Overcoming signal loss when transitting through water.
The Approach & Solution
Applied multiple layers of silicone modified conformal coating to all PCBs. Selected specific low-frequency antennas for better penetration. Configured Betaflight for specific motor protocols suited for resistance.
The Results
IP68
upFully submersible electronics
1km+
