Function:

iBlueROV_DataReceiver is a MOOS app that can be run on the Raspberry Pi Companion Computer onboard the BlueROV2. The app receives navigation information from BlueROV2 (such as current depth, heading and throttle) and publishes them in MOOSDB. This app was initially developed to receive navigation information from a BlueROV2 to MIT’s Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV), REx4. The BlueROV was connected the REx4 using an automated winch and navigation information published in ROV’s MOOSDB were shared with REx4’s MOOSDB using pShare.
