I just installed QCG on a new windows laptop. I went through the setup guide and when I made the connection to the ROV I had no Thruster Bar. How do I get it back so I can configure the wired xbox controller? ---

Tom, Are you talking about the _Motors_ tab on the _Vehicle Setup_ page in QGroundControl (shown below)? ![http://docs.bluerobotics.com/brov2/cad/qgc-motor-setup.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/bluerobotics/original/2X/b/b69938519ada3186ed80a7aa7811f5f49cf254cc.png) If you do not have the most recent version of ArduSub (3.5.3) installed on your ROV, this tab will not appear. See [here](http://docs.bluerobotics.com/brov2/software-setup/#update-software) for instructions on updating your ArduSub firmware. ---

I have it working on my MacBook just fine. Didn’t know why switching to the dark side with Windows based laptop would leave me with no connection. _R\*\*egards,_ _Tom_ ---

Tom, where are you at right now? What works, what doesnt? Have you followed the software setup instructions closely, including updating the software like @dheideman pointed out? ---

I have downloaded the QGC from your website link. at first I had gone right to QGCwebsite and installed that one. So now when I start up I see QGC-blue robotics V6 then I ran the update ARDU and loaded the file from your docs. it showed successful then I ran QGC and had camera image from BlueROV but still no thruster tab ---

THANKS ALL!!! Problem resolved. My laptop had corrupted the QGC file somehow. I uninstalled and reinstalled and all is working. Ready for first dive with new laptop and BR Tether Spool and quick connect to ROV. ---
