I’m looking to build a simple boat for sonar scanning. The sonar will all be handled by a standalone humminbird unit. All I need the boat to do is navigate a preset course.
I have previous experience with ardupilot but it was few years ago. My more recent experience has been with Matek F405 boards and iNav.
Is my old APM up to this task? I’m going to need to spend some money on this build so anywhere I can save, like using this old hardware, will help.
Technically it is but it hasn’t been supported in many years. If you want good support get a new flight controller that supports the current version of Rover, there are many to choice from. You don’t need a lot of HP for a Rover/boat so any board will do.
