BlueROV2 software updates
Hi everyone. We just want to remind you that Blue Robotics is continually improving both QGC and ArdSub software for the BlueROV2. When you upgrade, you should upgrade both on-board and topside software at the same time so functionality and compatibility are maintained.
The most recent versions are ArduSub version 3.5 and QGC b2c3264 released in late May. Upgrade instructions are available through Blue Robotics‘ website or at ArduSub.
And remember to SAVE YOUR PARAMETERS BEFORE UPGRADING.
