Our BR2 disarms when coms are lost …

My RR2 disarms, and starts to slowly ascend to the surface (slightly positive buoyancy) with loss of comms. Check the Safety settings.

Guys thank you for the reply. I am still having the same issue. If I pull the usb cable from my laptop with the BR2 in depth hold mode, it will stay in depth-hold mode. I have activated both the Heartbeat Alarm and Pilot Input Alarm in the safety settings and restarted QGC but didn’t change anything…

Hi @jreich , welcome to the forum :slight_smile: Your parameters and settings seem to match what @jwalser was asking, except that you’re currently on ArduSub 4.0.2. Would you be able to install companion 0.0.26 and ArduSub 4.0.3 and then upload a dataflash log after reproducing the issue? Assuming …

Hi Eliot, thanks for welcoming to the forum. I tried both Ardusub Versions, 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 with companion 0.0.26 and was able to reproduce the issue. The flash logs are in my public onedrive folder (link from last post). I also tried downgrading the companion image to 0.0.22 and reproduced the e…
