Cannot switch Light Channels in vehicle setup

Hello,

I got a problem after disabled the Lights 1 Channel, then I lost the options to switch back to channel 7. The lights will be turned on every time I power on the ROV, but I cannot tun on the light by joystick anymore. I have tried to reinstalled the QGroundControl software but it did not work. Do you have any suggestions for resetting the light output channels? Thanks.

I had similar problem when I updated to the Ardusub v4.5.0. The option for lumen lights was not there any more.
So I did revert the software back to Ardusub 4.1.2. All is working as it should be now.

My software version.
ArduSub: 4.1.2 (Stable)
BlueOS: 1.3.1
QGC: v4.4.2
Ping Viewer: v2.5.1

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion. The problem was solved after I reverted the Ardusub back to 4.1.2. Yet, we are confronted with a new problem. The button assignment of the joystick went wrong. The light_brighter/light_dimmer become the command for mount tilt up/down for the camera and have several stop, while the sevo__1_inc/servo_1_dec become the command for lumen brighter/dimmer and are continuously controlled. I did not modify the wiring at all, so I wondered if it is software problem. I appreciate any assistance.

Hi @EricLiu -
This can happen when switching versions. The easy fix is to load the default parameters from the vehicle setup page in BlueOS! If you backup your Autopilot Parameters first, you’ll be able to restore only the compass and thruster direction related ones to not have to recalibrate your system.
