Required Software

The ArduSub control system is made up of three major software components:

  • ArduSub Autopilot Firmware: ArduSub firmware is the autopilot software responsible for processing pilot input and controlling the ROV. ArduSub is the 'brains' of the ROV.

  • Companion Computer Software: Companion Computer software relays communications between the autopilot and QGroundControl via Ethernet communications. The Companion software also streams HD video to QGroundControl.

  • QGroundControl Software: QGroundControl is the user interface for operating the ROV.
