Omniscan + MAVLink2Rest Position

These instructions describe how to use the heading and position estimate from a MAVLink2Rest enabled vehicle in SonarView. A useful example is the Omniscan with a BlueROV to get a better heading and/or position estimate for situational awareness.

To get a position estimate, the ROV will need a sensor to estimate position such as the Tracker 650

  1. Add the Omniscan to the Devices list:

  1. Add the BlueROV2 to the vehicles list:

The vehicle model is just aesthetic. The necessary fields are the nickname, protocol (only mavlink2rest is support atm), hostname and port

Selecting a vehicle as the default makes it used in every other session that doesn't have a vehicle specifically defined

  1. Add session with Omniscan and vehicle

With your Omniscan powered on the network, you should be able to connect to this session plan in Discovery
