> Hi! I am starting a project where i will need to automatize a BlueROV2. For that i need to send basic controller commands via a script, for example up or down, and receive sensor information on the same script. Can anyone tell me where is the best place to start? I am a bit lost in the ardusub/mavlink/qgroundcontrol documentation! Thanks!
