Hello,
I took out my ROV to the swimming pool for the first time last night and had significant trouble. While attempting to use the left joystick of my Dualshock4 controller to initiate a forward thrust, the ROV began to roll without any forward motion. Upon further inspection, it appears that the front left thruster activates before the other three, which could account for the spastic movement. Does anyone have advice here? Thanks.
Assume you have setup the motors and done the Automatic Motor Direction Detection, etc?
Hi @WinstonCSM, welcome to the forums!
Were you operating in manual mode? If you switch to stabilize, and the vehicle goes crazy, then as @3dMB points out your motor directions have likely not been configured correctly…
Otherwise, stabilize mode should always keep the vehicle pointed the same direction as you navigate (unless your pilot input adjusts the heading set point.)
Hello and thank you for your replies. I ran the the motor detection again and it looks like there are some issues with motor 5. I am going to take it all apart and see what I can find.
