Hi guys,

Since I am now a Bluerobotics Distributor and launched my video recording software, I needed to come up with a simple solution on how to get the data string out of the ROV for depth, heading and temperature output.

I made a simple installation file for copying Mavproxy, python and Jacob’s script and made a video tutorial on my YouTube channel.

I thought I would share it here so that everyone can benefit from it.

Please note that I have no intentions of supporting this and any questions should be addressed to Bluerobotics.

Cheers,
