Cannot connect to BlueROV2 using qGroundControl

Blue Robotics Software QGroundControl
6

Found the solution, but i still haven’t figured out the reason for this.
It’s not the first time configuring the software for a BlueROV2, but it is the first time having this issue.
I will leave it here in case someone has similar problems:

  • i had to open the port 14550 for UDP traffic using:
    sudo firewall-cmd --add-port 14550/udp --permanent

  • then you should apply and reload the firewall rules and configurations managed by firewalld using:
    sudo firewall-cmd --reload

After this, you should be able to use QGC or ROS or whatever you need to communicate with your ROV.
