Adapting BlueOS/Navigator with a survey class UUV controller

(apologies if this is a redundant post)

Hi all,

I have a group of students who want to use a Raspberry pi with Navigator installed in a Survey type UUV (e.g. a REMUS or torpedo configuration) using three fins and a T200 thruster. Before they go too far down that path, we were wondering if anyone has done it before. From what we’ve read, it looks like this should be implemented as a library. Does that sound correct?

Many thanks for any help/advice!

Hi @MITAUV -
I hope others can chime in, but I think the biggest thing to consider is if you are going to use ArduSub, and if you need to develop a custom frame for it and compile the firmware accordingly. From there, it should just be a matter of providing navigational data (from DVL or other source) to get all the benefits of the Ardupilot based autopilot!

Thank you for the advice! We’ll get going on the custom frame today.
