Lateral Control

The joystick is used to control the lateral motion of the ROV.

Location

The Joystick does not have a label.

Use

Displace the Joystick to the left to slide the ROV to its left. Displace the Joystick to the right to slide the ROV to its right.

The greater the displacement from the center position, the faster it will move or turn in that direction.

The joystick can be moved in any direction to simultaneously move laterally while moving forward/backward or turning.

Do not run the horizontal thrusters in air for an extended period of time. Doing so may cause overheating and damage to the components.

Additional Notes

See the Lateral Thruster Instrument section of the VideoRay Cockpit Guide for information about feedback on the lateral thruster operation.
