@Cjjj can provide you the mounting screws you need. Just remind us before we pack it with the spare laser LEDs once assembly is finished.
You can place it on the same position as the lumen lights or if you want to follow bluerobotics’ installation: Lumen Light Installation and Example Code (bluerobotics.com)
Yes, we loaded it with the same configuration - BR2 Heavy.

Completed assembly for the Laser Pair (SN-012). Now ready for testing and for quality checking.
Thanks Crisanto. I was speaking to another supplier today for another product and they told me that there are upgrades to some of the Bluetrail Cobalt connectors - not only the 6 pin but the 3-pin also. You will see in our discussions previously that I asked about this. It is very important that the latest available cobalt connectors are used because these devices must be compatible with the cobalt connectors we will be fitting to our ROV. Could you please review this before shipping and update me.
Hello @gavXYZ, can you confirm to your supplier where your 3-pin bulkhead will be coming from, if the bulkheads to be used are new revisions? As far as we’re concerned, bluetrail website has notes for the revisions of their products but still has no update regarding the 3-pin cobalt bulkheads and penetrators. We already sent them email regarding this.

Hi @gavXYZ , I just confirmed from Damon (damon@bluetrailengineering.com) that they don’t have any revisions of the 3-pin cobalt cables and connectors.

Done with the quality checking of the Laser Pair (SN-012). We also provided screws for mounting the laser housing and extra two laser diodes.
Hi, may I ask regarding the cable of the CP Probe. The actual length of it is 2 meters. Do you have a specific length for it? If you have a specific length of the cable, I will cut it. Or you want to leave it as 2.5 meters? Also, I will use cable joint on it with the 3 Pin Penetrator Cable that has a length of 1 meter.

Completed assembly for the CP Probe PCB kit.
Next step: connecting the CP Probe to the 3-Pin Penetrator Cable using cable joint. Also waiting reply for the desired length of the CP Probe.
1.2 m for CP Probe Crisanto.
When is expected ship date?
Thanks,
Gavin
Thanks for that.
As long as the products are finished and passed the quality checking. We will ship it immediately. We’ll let you know when the products are done.
Thanks,
Crisanto
Hello @gavXYZ,
After @crisanto finish the CP probe assembly, we’ll make a test on it including the pcb made.
Still, there are parts that we have not received yet like the long nose tips for the CP probe kit. Do you want us to ship immediately (HCU, Laser pair, CP probe) after testing or wait for the parts to complete the order?
Is it only the long nose tips?
Are these a replaceable part and easy to change without voiding warranty?
Are there other parts you have not received?
Do you have delivery dates from your suppliers for these parts?
Regards,
Gavin
Hi @gavXYZ,
The ones marked with green have been delayed, ETA about 30 days. It’s up to you if you want that to be supplied later. We are still programming the pcb for the CP probe kit before doing tests though.
Sorry for the inconvenience, we really appreciate your understanding.
Best Regards,
Eulo
30 days is not acceptable Eulo and it also sounds like there is uncertainty. I hope you understand.
You can send the CP probe without those items IF it is simple for us to attach them ourselves. Can you advise if this will be simple?
Gavin
Yes it is. Programming of the pcb kit is still ongoing.

Hi, we already finished testing the CP Probe. It works well on testing. We are now preparing it for packing so that we can ship it right away.
We tested it using the water with a salt solution. Based on our research that per 1 kilogram of water it needs to have 35 grams of salt to make a seawater. We put 10 kilograms of water with 350 grams of salt in a small container.
Here’s the result of our test:
First test is the CP Probe is out of the water. The result we got is shown below:
Second test is the CP Probe is submerged in the water but not touching the Zinc Block. The result we got is shown below:
Third test is the CP Probe is submerged in the water but the tip of it is touching the Zinc Block. The result we got is shown below:
Fourth test is the water detect test. We put jumper blocks on the pins of the PCB kit. The we result we got is shown below:

Products are already packed and ready to ship:
DROV-HCU (SN-18590893)
Laser Pair (SN-012)
Expanse PCB (SN-00130)
CP Probe with PCB Kit (SN-00102)
Thanks everyone.
Crisanto, can you confirm the units in the test and the meaning of #WD and the ‘0’ reading?
Do you have instructions on displaying these results in QGroundControl using a BlueROV2?
