Problem connecting to the BlueROV2 via Scripting

I have a BlueRov2 that I bought from a reseller.
When connecting to the BlueRov2, it does not appear a new IP address in IPConfig, nor a COM port in the device manager. The reseller told me, “we have not yet had to connect to the ROV via MAVLink. I can’t help you much in this matter.”, so I’m left in the dark, because I can’t connect via MAVLink without an IP address nor via COM port. How can I connect via scripting, Python, to the ROV?

I’m connecting the ROV to a Fathom-X Tether Interface (FXTI) that is connected to a PC that was included in the ROV. The software QGroundControl is working properly and is connecting to a IP 127.0.0.x UDP port.

Hi @bolo -
Please review the BlueROV2 software setup guide, and this documentation on pymavlink. It’s worth upgrading your system to BlueOS if it isn’t already running it!
