### Motor Mapping/Wiring

The motors must be wired to the flight controller following the standard instructions supplied by BlueRobotics for this
vehicle .

The vehicle will then match the configuration documented in
the [Airframe Reference](../airframes/airframe_reference.md#vectored-6-dof-uuv):

## Airframe Configuration

BlueROV2 does not come with PX4 installed.
You will need to:

1. [Install PX4 Firmware](../config/firmware.md#installing-px4-main-beta-or-custom-firmware)
2. [Set the Airframe](../config/airframe.md).
   You will need to select the "BlueROV2 Heavy Configuration" as shown:
