Before Posting an Issue

Hi All,

Before posting an issue or a problem in the ArduBoat Discussion Forum, please check the wiki table of contents, review the firmware release notes in the subforum, and search that subforum for existing answers to your question. Help avoid duplicate threads by finding other members with the same issue and their solution.

When formulating your post, use a descriptive title such as "rover will not navigate to waypoints in the Auto mode" (not "HELP!" or "Problem").

Please include the following information to help diagnose your query:

  • Describe the problem you are having. What is the expected verses the observed behavior?
  • Provide hardware information such as the brand and version of your autopilot, GPS, radio, and compass, as well as any other pertinent details about your rover setup.
  • What version of the APM: ArdurRover2 firmware version are you running?
  • For navigation issues, provide your tlog and/or dataflash log. Click here for instructions on retrieving a dataflash log.

    Once I get my pontoon RSV and autonomous R/C racing boat completed I plan to tackle a ROV.

    To that end I have pmed Rusty asking him if he would be interested in co-developing a low cost ROV out of PVC and other readily available components that would use the T-100 thrusters.

    I've just signed up for a couple of the BlueRobotics thrusters. I've got an old windsurfer that needs automation :-)

    I pledged for 2 T100`s for a remote wildlife video/photography platform I`ve been working on.

    Thanks to everyone who pledged for thruster! We need to keep the momentum going to make this happen, so please spread the word to anyone who might be interested!

    Hi All,

    Did anyone besides myself pledge for T100 thrusters from bluerobotics.com?

    The bluerobotics.com KickStarter project Link is live now.

    There are none of the 50 early bird slots left.

    I pledged $270 for three of the $90 each thrusters as the site went live this morning.

New to boats looking for a hull suggestion

Hello allI have played around with fixed-wing drones before but am new to boats. I am looking to build a simple boat for the purpose of inspecting a heavily timbered section of river that it is hard to get a manned boat into and am looking for some suggestions on where to start. I don't need a sounder or overly accurate GPS (but both would be good to have). I would really like a high-resolution camera in a dome housing or similar that I could control and take photos with. I would also like a…

Rudder control for kontiki

Hi all,I want to install a rudder on to my kontiki, which is like a submarine which floats on the surface and takes a fishing line out to sea.I am thinking of using an apm 2.8 with gps (because thats what i have) to drive a 20kg servo. The gps should point at a point about 3km out from the beach and the kontiki should follow that course until the timer turns off.I would be grateful for any advise how to go about this.

How to connect 2 Brushless Motors and 1 rudder

Hi, I'm new to Pixhawk. I'm making a boat. I do have 2 brushless motor with ESC and 1 servo which is connected to the rudder. How can I connect them to the Pixhawk 2.4.8. What changes should I bring in the parameters? From readings, I come to know that servo should be connected to RC1 and motor to RC3. But what should I do when I have 2 motors, which are kept in both the ends. Thank you
