2 motor ASV with backward ESC capability

Posted by Leonardo Garberoglio on November 12, 2017 at 5:25am

Hi, I'm building an ASV made of 2 hulls of PVC pipe and a aluminum frame. It will be powered with 2 T100 thruster from bluerobotics. They offer an ESC with fordward/backward posibility. PW drom 1000 to 1475 is for backward and PW from 1525 to 2000ms is for fordward.

Is this kind of PWM signal suported by ArduBoat?

If not, then I should use a traditional ESC and forget to backward drive, right?

Where do I finde the ArduBoat code? (sorry for this newbie question)

Thank!

    Thank!, I will use Pixhawk.

    I'm a little mess with DIYDrone and ArduPilot and with ArduBoat and ArduRover... There is ArduBoat DIYDrone group, but not ArduBoat firmware?

    Where do I find Boat configuration and information for ArduRover?

    If you are using Pixhawk as ArduPilot platform, one source of ArduPilot code for boat or rover (binary, built) is:

    It is a surface rover.  You just run ArduRover.  It has specific parameters that you set for a boat (e.g. boat with rudder or skid steering)

    Excelent!

    Can you point me out to the ArduBoat Firmware, please? Is the Rover or the Sub project that you are using?

    Do I have to post here or here ?

    Thank!

    I am running the same setup and reverse works fine.
