question: Can the M300 barometer be used instead of the Bar30?

[HasanTheSyrian]

I have an M300 on hand rated for the same depth and accuracy as the Bar30. It's also compatible with the Pixhawk.

I plan to use your software for my university's robotics team and I have a few questions, I'd appreciate it if you could provide me an email or a better place to ask questions. Thanks in advance.

I suppose the M300 will work.

Please note that I've never run this software on an actual ROV -- it has only run in simulation.

I would suggest directing questions to the forums dedicated to the various underlying software, e.g., Gazebo, ROS2, ArduSub, mavros, etc.

Thanks for your reply; I'm aware of the libraries/tools you are using. I have questions pertaining to your codebase and what it's capable of even if it's in theory.

Hi @HasanTheSyrian -- go ahead and ask questions here, and I'll try to address them in a timely manner. That way we'll leave a trail for others to follow.

Has anyone ever tried running orca4 on real hardware? It seems to me that 'bringup.py' has no responsibility for starting ArduSub, so if anyone wants to run orca4 on real HW, he needs to extend it or create a new launch file for bringing up on real HW. (camera_info_publisher is also started only in sim_launch, but it is not essential I guess)
@clydemcqueen please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks in advance.
