Well, do that after you've water tested it. The only thing worse than water on electronics is water on electronics when they have power! As for the plugs and hook-ups, everything works exactly the same as it did with the land rover. Instead of a servo to the wheels, it's one to the rudder. Instead of a motor to the wheels, it's on the propeller. But every plug should go in the same way on a water rover as with a land rover. Afterward, put the lid on, and program it the same exact way you did for the land rover. Then, you're off and swimming with the ducks!

Overview of this book
The Ardupilot platform is an application ecosystem that encompasses various OS projects for drone programming, flight control, and advanced functionalities.The Ardupilot platform supports many Comms and APIs, such as DroneKit, ROS, and MAVLink. It unites OS drone projects to provide a common codebase. With the help of this book, you will have the satisfaction of building a drone from scratch and exploring its many recreational uses (aerial photography, playing, aerial surveillance, and so on). This book helps individuals and communities build powerful
UAVs for both personal and commercial purposes. You will learn to unleash the Ardupilot technology for building,
monitoring, and controlling your drones.This is a step-by-step guide covering practical examples and instructions for assembling a drone, building ground control unit using microcontrollers, QgroundControl, and MissionPlanner.
You can further build robotic applications on your drone utilizing critical software libraries and tools from the ROS framework. With the help of DroneKit and MAVLink (for reliable communication), you can customize applications via cloud and mobile to interact with your UAV.
