@johng As a note on this, ArduPilot’s [Developer Code of Conduct](https://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/developer-code-of-conduct.html#our-pledge:~:text=ArduPilot%20is%20NOT,to%20manned%20aircraft.) specifies that:

> [@ArduPilot - Developer Code of Conduct - Our Pledge](#):
>
> ArduPilot is NOT certified for use in applications where ArduPilot is effectively in control of human lives. Members of the development team must not knowingly assist in projects where ArduPilot will be in control of human lives. “In control of human lives” includes but isn’t limited to manned aircraft.

Accordingly, if you want to use Navigator for a dive propulsion vehicle you’ll need to do so without using ArduPilot software (including ArduSub), and any help from Blue Robotics employees would need to be limited to how Navigator’s sensors and PWM driver could be programmed and used directly (without ArduSub, and likely without reference to the ArduPilot codebase).
