FIX: (Before the start of Summer Semester 2026) [RE: ]
- ROV's front port thruster runs/turns when using depth hold at water’s surface
- Joysticks in QGroundControl need to be rebound.
- [These changes are not critical for current functionality/testing but do seem to be interrelated and not particularly difficult to do. Possible solutions to test have been documented: https://discuss.bluerobotics.com/t/issue-with-stabilize-and-depth-hold-flight-modes/861/8.]
ADD: (Before the end of Summer Semester 2026)
- To plan for any new electronics unable to fit in the main tube to fit in a new identical watertight tube/end caps, ordered 5/6/26 by @Samuel.
Penetrator holes in the electronics enclosure are limited — need to count and diagram current electrical connections and plan for future ones going forward
- Also buy new penetrators/caps if we don't have many
- Possible connections include
- estop
- indicator lights
- hydrophone
- magnet actuator (if servo/release mechanism needed)
- tether — up to the detachable section
- battery switch kit
- possible camera (https://bluerobotics.com/store/sensors-cameras/cameras/deepwater-exploration-explorehd-usb-camera/ ?)
- possible sonoptix imaging sonar (https://bluerobotics.com/store/sonars/imaging-sonars/sonoptix-echo/)
- possible Doppler Velocity Log
- Does anyone have any comments regarding these/anything I’ve missed?
- Estop [RE: @Thalia @Em Paul] (FINISH this by start of Fall 26)
The estop (physically controlled) and Presto II (remote e-stop and indicator lights) boards do need to be added and soldered
Progress on the physical e-stop mechanism?
- Indicator lights [RE: RESPONSIBLE ENGINEER(S)] (FINISH this by start of Fall 26)
- all of this needs to just only be installed
- Hydrophone [RE: Aaron/with assistance from @Thomas Devlin] (FINISH mounting and make any further possible progress by start of Fall 26)
- if necessary, get CAD Model
- make model holder/bracket (@James Pope still needs to decide where this will be mounted/attached, this also applies to the following modules)
- needs ROS driver/software work
- “Infrastructure Survey & Repair” magnet design task [RE: RESPONSIBLE ENGINEER(S)](FINISH majority of mechanical design by start of Fall 26)
- Create mount for magnetic probes (something long and not super rigid/easily breakable to hold the magnet near the pipe)
- BlueROV detachable tether concept (BlueROV side) [RE: @Shrey Patel]
- Mechanical conceptualization in progress - design review ASAP
- Note that we do have this component thingy it may be helpful:
Battery Switch Kit Install
Check BleuBoat switch; this is not currently available for purchase- Switch obtained
BlueROV2 Payload Skid [RE: @James Pope]
Miscellaneous Testing/Work for over the summer/right before or after it; maybe for when the rebound controller is tested with the BlueROV/thrusters in the water next [RE: @Aaron Wu as necessary]
- Underwater light pipe? https://www.notion.so/gt-mrg/Lake-Test-Results-4-5-26-3394d4efb4c780279800c6271e471c74 Do we know absolutely anything about this?
