so i was trying to make a ROV for a project in schoo but i wanted it to be as cost freindly as possible i was wondering if it were possible to run ardusub without a pixhawk or simmillar board as they can add to the price quickly if i had things like gyros running into a pi4
Hi @Mini -
The Pixhawk is likely your cheapest option to run ArduSub with - the Navigator has things like gyros and other motions sensors, and pwm outputs, but is a bit pricier…
i had seen that however i was wondering if it were possible to run ardusub without having a flight controller and just bying cheaper gyro/ acelerometer module for the pi4
Hi @Mini -
To do this, you would need to select breakout modules that communicate via I2c, wire them up, and integrate driver support for the units into ArduSub (if using models that are not already supported). You’d also need to use and develop support for the PWM multiplexers used to output multiple channels of servo signals.
When you count the time required, there doesn’t seem to be much savings to be had!
