Has your Blue Robotics camera failed?

Blue Robotics has identified a potential issue with their Mount for USB Camera (BR-100254) affecting the Low-Light USB Camera (BR-100126) updated in November 2021. The camera mount did not provide for the relocation of three resistors on the left side of the camera so, when mounted, the camera would press directly on these (very small) parts. Depending on the torque used to fasten the camera to the mount, some or all of these resistors could crack, leading to the camera’s failure.

If you have experienced a recent camera failure, please take high resolution photos of the board (see example below) and, if you bought the camera from us, contact us for a replacement camera and mount (make sure to supply photos).

If you sourced the camera from Blue Robotics directly, please use this link to contact Blue Robotics Support to log your issue.

Waaaay Bigger Blue Robotics Watertight Enclosures

Blue Robotics just announced their 5″, 6″, and 8″ locking enclosures into their watertight housing family. These enclosures are rated to 500m to 1000m depths and end-cap options are flat, aluminium, with and without pre-drilled M10 holes.

The online configurator has expanded  to included these new sizes and we can also order any of these parts quickly for you.

FYI – the non locking versions will continue to be available for a little longer.

New Underwater Servos by Blue Trail Engineering

We are excited to announce Blue Trail Engineering has released a new SER-20XX series of underwater servos , depth-rated to 200 meters, offering increased mounting flexibility, and are optionally available as a kit.

Machined enclosure instead of injection-molded, meaning: walls are thicker, making the unit more durable and giving an increased depth rating of 200 meters; surface finish is smoother and tolerances are tighter, making the O-ring seals more reliable, and; external surfaces are flat for easier mounting from either the side or the top

6-mm “D-shaft” output shaft instead of a square shaft, making it easier to attach to your device using a simple set screw

Available kit option, made possible by an easier assembly process. The usual pre-assembled and tested versions will still be available.
