Hi @Tim -  
Welcome to the forums! We’ve not tested with ROS2 whatsoever, but I believe if you install Ubuntu, then ROS2 and [BlueOS on the Pi](https://github.com/bluerobotics/BlueOS/tree/master/install) (manually), you may have what you need? I’m not sure how the communications between ROS2 and BlueOS / ArduSub would occur…  
Using the (ROS1) extension is the easiest approach!
