Description
The Navigator is an ROV and robotics flight controller for the Raspberry Pi 4. It has an onboard IMU, compass, barometer, and ADC sensors as well as 16 PWM outputs and numerous serial and I2C expansion ports. The Navigator is used on the BlueROV2 and BlueBoat in conjunction with the BlueOS software, but can also be used for a wide range of robotics applications.
At its core, the Navigator is a collection of inputs and outputs. It has inputs from onboard sensors, outputs to servos or speed controllers, and expansions ports that can be connected to external devices.
Onboard, the Navigator has:
-6-axis IMU with accelerometers and gyroscopes for orientation
-Dual three-axis magnetometers for compass heading
-Barometer for the altitude in the air
-16 servo PWM channel outputs
-Current and voltage ADC inputs
-Built-in leak detection for 2 probes
-RC receiver input (SBUS)
-RGB status LED
The Navigator kit ships with an SD card loaded with BlueOS, our new core operating software for ROVs, USVs, and other robotics. Built on top of Raspbian Linux, it provides a host of features including autopilot software management, video streaming, software updates, and user-defined extensions. It allows you to get started quickly with the Navigator and ArduPilot firmwares.
