Changzhou YiSu Underwater Robots Electronics Co.,Ltd http://rovmaker.org mail@rovmaker.orgEdge Setup Manual Version 1.0Status : Released Page: 8/48ROVMAKER EDGE Setup Manual Connecting the Underwater WorldOverviewSoftware configuration comes after the hardware assembly. Software introduction may be provided in advance to help understand the overall software and hardware architecture. If you want to build your product as soon as possible, go to the hardware assembly section. When doing software configuration for the first time, please follow all instructions specified in the manual.Introduction EDGE underwater vehicle comes with the Ardusub system. Derived from ArduCopter, Ardusub is a part of the Ardupilot project and currently the most popular open source software for ROV and AUV. Ardusub is a safe, easy-to-operate, highly scalable, fully-open source and well-developed system. The combination of ROVMAKER hardware and Ardusub's mature open source software allows you to build an underwater vehicle with minimal efforts. Main features -Stable and precise feedback control: Based on the multicopter autopilot system, ArduSub firmware has accurate feedback control to actively maintain orientation.-Depth hold. Using pressure-based depth sensors, the ArduSub firmware can maintain depth within a few centimeters. -Heading hold. ArduSub automatically maintains vehicle heading when not commanded to turn.-Camera tilt. Camera tilt control with servo or gimbal motors through the joystick or gamepad controller.-Lighting control. Control of subsea lighting through the joystick or gamepad controller.-No programming required. ArduSub is applicable to most frame options without any programming changes and almost all parameter settings of the same are adjustable.-Supports a variety of mainstream vehicle frame options and motor configurations.-High scalability and customizability in hardware and software.-Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) and Inertial Navigation Filter (EKF)-User-customizable and expandable framework configuration system.-Well developed ground control station software for piloting and configuration-Supports many development tools targeting MAVLink-enabled vehicles-Sensor and navigation data logging. Preparations A complete underwater vehicle system includes some essential components, a simple list of which is shown below: -[Supported ROV Framework] Contains the thruster and supports forward/backward ESC-Autopilot (e.g. 3DR's PixHawk) -Cables used for power carrier or network communication-A computer that runs the QGroundControl surface station-USB joystick or remote controller-Depth sensor
