Has any one integrated the Tritech MicronNav unit through RS232 on the Blue ROV?
Im presuming its fairly simple but if someones done it, let us know please.
Also if you have, what navigation software have you used ?
Hi @real_kiwi -
This rather long thread ended up with a resolution to a bug in the Tritech software!
While that thread was dealt with in the old days of Companion OS, parsing an NMEA stream to show vehicle position on the map should be possible with BlueOS. There are two approaches, using the NMEA injector or parsing the messages directly with ArduPilot.
To better advise, can you share your goals for the BlueROV2 equipped with this payload?
A quick search also yielded this thread
I haven’t integrated the Tritech MicronNav with RS232 on the Blue ROV myself, but it sounds like it should be straightforward. For navigation software, you might want to look into options like QGroundControl or Mission Planner, which often support various navigation systems. If anyone has specific experience, it’d be great to hear about their setup and software choices!
