Hi @tguajard,

No, you will not need to change any change settings in QGC, please see here for a basic explanation of the practical BlueROV2 current draw:

Hi @vozalexander, The reason we use 12 AWG power cable is quite simple. That’s the largest gauge cable we could stuff through our penetrators, we tested thoroughly, and it seemed to work fine. After years of sales and customer use, this amount of copper has never caused a problem. The long answer is current rating is not so simple as single number, in fact its more of a religious question where you ask 10 different people and you may get 10 different answers, all valid in their own way. Going …

It’s also important to note that the highest current draw on the ROV will happen in short spikes, which is very different demand wise from a sustained constant draw for component ratings.
