Hi @Kingzeon,

The BlueROV2 runs on open source software, and the documentation we have written for it is already public. I would recommend reading Searching Resources to get started, but beyond that

• we have slightly outdated but quite complete documentation for ArduSub and its related softwares here, and
• we’re working on transferring and updating that documentation to a new and better system here
  • quite limited at the moment
  • currently documents just the stable version of BlueOS
  • will include recent ArduSub and QGroundControl changes when complete
  • will include references to newer products that are currently left off (e.g. our new Navigator autopilot board, and network switches like our Ethernet Switch)

@Kingzeon

The steps he thought about were to first build a coding environment, then compile all the code you gave through a compilation environment, and finally generate an executable file to control BRV.

That doesn’t really make sense - the BlueROV2 runs ArduSub on its autopilot board, BlueOS (or Companion software) on its onboard computer, and QGroundControl on the topside computer. You can’t have a single compiled executable that is split across multiple pieces of hardware.
