I had the problem before.

Try to reboot your companion computer and restart BR2. That is how i fix the issue, but i deeply have no idea about the cause of problem.

Hi Luis,

If restarting the ROV does not work, you can go to [http://192.168.2.2:8088](http://192.168.2.2:8088) → “Open Terminal” and type `screen -ls`, it’ll show a list of services running, one of them should be called **mavproxy** , if such service does not exist, you should check the connection between the pixhawk and the companion board inside the ROV.

Hello Patrick,

Ok I’ve followed Ardusub troubleshooting and your suggestions and found out that mavproxy was not running

Tried to run with the script and this message appeared

I’ve noticed there are like 2 bips only when I plug the battery to the ROV and I found the following

Any other suggestion?
