Lately I’ve been using only Cockpit to operate my BlueROV, but with one specific BlueROV it doesn’t show depth in Cockpit, while it does in QGroundControl. I’ve calibrated the depth sensor from BlueOS, but I still don’t get depth in Cockpit. Does anyone know how this could be fixed?

Hi @Xengar -

Welcome to the forums!

Does the depth indicator in Cockpit show a value? If such a widget isn’t present, maybe it was removed? It is easy to add back the mini-widget, or use one of the other widgets that display depth…

Simply go to edit mode, and look for the widgets documented [here](https://blueos.cloud/cockpit/docs/latest/usage/advanced/#depth-indicators). Let us know if you can’t find and add!

Hi Tony

If I have the depth icon but it marks me 0.0 meters even though it goes down, without modifying I open qcontrol and if the depth values appear

Hi @Xengar -

Interesting - if I understand correctly you’re saying that QGC has valid depth readings but Cockpit does not? What version of Cockpit and ArduSub are you using?
