Hello,
I have a blue boat running autopilot version 4.5.7
Setting to manual mode and arming the motors start immediately up.
The joystick is connected and vehicle does not respond.
The navlight seems to indicate that it is in the mode of:
“ARMED LOITER”
because it is a solid On, without any flash.
I’m also in need of setting up the battery voltage monitor.
Thank you in advance,
Your fellow Blue Boater
Hi @oceanq -
Have you set the joystick center is 0 throttle as mentioned in the setup guide?
Aside from the NavLight, what does QGround Control indicate the vehicle mode is?
If you load the default parameters, the battery voltage should be sensed correctly - if it needs a tweak, check out the powerswitch cal extension!
Hello!
I was able to sort out the issues with the controller and the light, using the forum.
The navlight had an issue is a missing light.lua script from the last upgrade/OS SD card flash.
The controller issue was a headband issue I believe.
When calibrating the controller, I did not know that the deadbands could be set by using the advanced menu and giving the stick a slight wiggle when calibrating, using q-ground control.
Having some good success now and amazed at how well the blue boat is doing in the open ocean conditions.
Hi @oceanq -
Glad you got things sorted out! The BlueOS setup wizard should have let you load the lights.lua script, did you use that or copy it in manually?
I hope your power measurements are coming thru as expected. Happy motoring!
