Connecting Ping Sonar via Navigator Serial Port

Blue Robotics Software Ping Viewer

Hi @Jnyberg,

I brought this up internally and was told

To connect to serial port “n”,

  1. set the SERIALn_PROTOCOL parameter to None
    • e.g. SERIAL3_PROTOCOL for Serial3
  2. restart the autopilot, and also the BlueOS core container (soft restart)
    • or power cycle the vehicle
  3. pre-configured devices (e.g. Ping) should now work
    • other devices may need to configure Bridges

That’s definitely unusual. Was Ping Viewer crashing consistently like this? Are you able to upload a Ping Viewer GUI log?
