Integrating Bar30 Depth Sensor with Pixhawk 2.4.8

General Discussion Research
1

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to integrate the Bar30 depth sensor with a Pixhawk 2.4.8 flight controller running ArduSub v4.5.3. The sensor is connected to the I²C port on the Pixhawk, and I’m using Mission Planner for monitoring.

However, I’m not seeing any values for SCALED_PRESSURE2 or related depth data in the MAVLink Inspector .

Could anyone confirm if it’s possible to get the Bar30 working with the Pixhawk 2.4.8 on ArduSub v4.5.3? If so, what are the steps to correctly configure it? Do I need to enable any specific parameters or settings in Mission Planner to make it work?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Hi @Harshada -
Have you checked the Vehicle Setup page in BlueOS to view the status of connected sensors?
Using the Bar30 with the Pixhawk and the latest ArduSub is definitely supported - it should work by default! Have you modified the Bar30 in any way, like extending the wires?
