"Gregory -
A slight alternative to option 1 would be using a motor controller that can parse the signal to differential. The Sabertooth series do this (check out the datasheet) - although the biggest they have is 60 amps I think.…"

"Differential thrust is not currently possible with the ardurover code directly, but can be accomplished with your motor controller or an additional microcontroller between the ardupilot and your motor controllers.

"DGPS is beginning to be used in smaller vessels, especially in survey work environments.
Would the offsets calculated from running a predetermined course vary with atmospheric or timing conditions? I had discounted that as practical only when…"

"Differential GPS (D-GPS) is an interesting option from the hobbyist level - while certainly theoretically possible, a lot interdisciplinary problems would need to be solved - primarily coding some fancy math that fits your hardware setup precisely.…"
"solidworks is ideal! I wish more people posted the accompanying non-stl file on thingiverse...I'll message you my email - Thanks!"
"What software did you design this in? I'd like to modify your center piece to accommodate a 3DR radio with a molex connector instead of male USB - and while I could do this from scratch, it'd be nice to save some time with an easy to edit file!"

Hello everyone!Just got back from the maiden voyage of my Ardu-Boat platofrm (APM 2.5) - and while the eventual end of the trial stemmed from a mechanical problem (gearbox wasn't great) - what I could test of the autopilot had miserable behavior.I…
Hello everyone - the last hardware needed for my boat build arrived today, and I am planning on doing extensive testing in a lake on this coming Tuesday. Our platform is a 45" long RC speed boat, that has had its very basic control system, brushed…
"I'll "third" the dual throttle feature (if this is meant in the differential thrust steering sense) - I will be starting a large 45" RC boat build this coming week with APM2 and about 15AH of battery, and the second stage of our development plan…"

Hell everyone - I'm sure my Arduino IDE needs some libraries added to its system files before I can expect to compile this successfully - I'd like to flash with the .hex file from Mission Planner, but can't seem to get the firmware to compile - with…

"Thanks, I also couldn't connect to the GIT library to get the source... can you post .zip files like this on occasion until whatever issue some of us seem to be having is resolved? Seems like the pace of activity is picking up!
