Submarine development

Hi
I have seen some places in the development user guide that there is a reference to submarines, and that support for this is “coming soon”. Does anyone have any input or knowledge of how far along this work has come?

Hi @eirikaso what are you looking to do in regards to underwater vehicles?

ROV type with up to 8 thrusters. Much like the ardusub library for ardupilot https://www.ardusub.com/introduction/features.html .

I have to use ROS for my project, and then PX4 seems to be the better option

If you can’t find things that work, there’s an active discussion over at the Blue Robotics forums: http://discuss.bluerobotics.com/t/ros-support-for-bluerov2/1550

Thank you for the tip.
I have tried this on Ardusub yes, but I have to use the PX4 firmware for this project for various reasons.
