The recent update on the BlueROV page notes a new flight controller, and other upgraded items. We had a failed IMU on one of our Pixhawks (3DRsolo version), and have received a quote to replace it. At this stage, we are examining choices (Pixhawk 4/5) so the news of a new flight controller is welco…

[image] Dale: I’m waiting on the release to make the same decision. The Navigator Flight Controller has been released , if that’s what you’re talking about, and we’ve also made our remaining stock of Pixhawks available for purchase :slight_smile: From an interfacing perspective, the primary d…

Hi @Dale_A , The new flight controller is going to be announced in May and will be part of the default BlueROV2 at that time.

Any deals for those of us who just purchased a BlueROV?

I’m waiting on the release to make the same decision. There’s no details yet about interchangeability. Might be whole new architecture of the main board. Obviously with the new thrusters, and tube sizes, there are enhancements coming that require systems upgrades to cope with scale.

Upcoming revision, new flight controller
