SUB Control
A lightweight Windows controller for ArduSub ROVs over USB/MAVLink.
Quick start
Install Python 3.11+ with the Python launcher, then run:
./run.ps1
The script creates a virtual environment and installs dependencies automatically. On first launch, it also adds a SUB Control desktop shortcut. Select a COM port and Connect, or choose Demo Mode to try it without hardware. Connection settings are under •••.
Controls
- Joystick: forward/back and turning. Vertical slider: rise/dive.
- Keyboard: W/S forward/back, A/D or Q/E turn, R/F rise/dive.
- Hold engage for 1.4 seconds to request arming; tap disengage to request disarming. The app waits for vehicle confirmation.
- Movement controls ease back to neutral when released.
Includes adjustable output limit, motor setup, voltage-based battery status, an STL viewer, and session logs in logs/.
Safety
Verify motor direction, ESC settings, and vehicle failsafes before use. Remove propellers for initial bench tests and keep a physical power cutoff available. A lost connection cannot guarantee the motors stop.
