MODAQ 2.0 (Modular Ocean Data AcQuisition System v2.0) [SWR-24-138]

Abstract

MODAQ 2.0 is the continuation of the Modular Ocean/Offshore Data AcQuisition system which offers new benefits of being based on generally available hardware and open-source development tools. The MODAQ 2.0 project is the amalgamation of ROS packages, tools, and guidance for developing data acquisition and control applications for marine energy devices using a ROS2 based architecture. The MODAQ 2.0 Reference Design includes several packages that are targeted for the marine energy sector and allow most developers with a basic background in programming to spin up a high-quality DAQ and control system. It is comprised of multiple software repositories which can be found at the MODAQ2 GitHub Organization: https://github.com/NREL-MODAQ2
