I am not sure if the software installed is the blue robotic version. Our technical guru is out of country at the moment… We are using Qgraoundcontrol v3.2.7{ a purple Q icon} I’m not sure how much work is required once I start downloading that link you sent me and I don’t want to fluff it up ---

You should see “QGroundControl BlueRobotics-Rev” in the windows title. To install QGC from jacobs link, you just need to select .exe if you are running windows, .dmg for mac or .AppImage for Linux, the entire process is very simple, like a normal application. ---

Stock tank testing was successful with the new software update of 15 April 2019 running on my BlueROV. I’m headed out today for an open water test session. I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks again for your help.
