New DVL (1-2 people)
We've purchased a new, much smaller DVL (doppler velocity logger). The model is WaterLinked's DVL A50. For information on what a DVL is, and about this specific model, see the BlueRobotics DVL A50 page.
Project overview
- The DVL speaks JSON over TCP. See WaterLinked's protocol documentation.
- There is also a serial interface, but we will not use it because (1) it is slower and (2) I'm pretty sure the point of getting this DVL was that we can talk to it over Ethernet --- Jeffrey Fisher.
- Goal: setup communication between Qubo's main computer and the DVL.
- Goal: Make the DVL data available to the rest of the code over ROS.
