Two possible names and software dev

We've narrowed the new name down to Ice Monkey or Arctic Monkey.  I guess we're going to wait until we've purchased the actual boat and have spent some time on her before we make the final decision.

On the last post I told of purchasing the OpenROV kit.  I've now completed my software development environment setup.  It consists of Ubuntu 12.10, Eclipse IDE, the Arduino IDE, g++ and gambas for the kids. Most of my mods for the project will be C++ apps to control and read sensors.  I plan to add temp and photo sensors to record sea water temps and water clarity to the ROV.  The founders of OpenROV also have a sea water sampling module that would be fun to add.

Best,
LJ
