Info on using the serial connection on the WiSub to turn on/off the ROV from the surface of a wirelessly connected OEM is below. 1. WiSub Maelstrom Command Structure The commands used to communicate with Maelstrom are human readable and can be accessed using a serial terminal program or a custom program. Note that commands can be lower or uppercase, Maelstrom will convert it all to uppercase. 1.1. Serial Port Configuration The serial port for both the Maelstrom TX is configured as follows: · 115200 baud rate · 8 data bits · 1 stop bit · No parity bits 1.2. Pinouts Maelstrom TX Maelstrom TX uses UART 5V-TTL on J9 to interface with the communications system. The pinout is as follows: | J9 Pin | Function | |:-- |:-- | | 1 | +5V | | 2 | RX (data in) | | 3 | TX (data out) | | 4 | GND | | 5 | n/a | | 6 | n/a | 1.3. Commands CTL=ON Turns the Boxfish OEM on (same as using the magnetic key) CTL=OFF Turns the Boxfish OEM off (same as using the magnetic key) The Maelstrom TX must be powered in order to send these commands.

Here is one of the follow-up items. We may have overlooked setting Autofocus on the camera during testing. Auto Focus-Continuous is our recommended setting. https://helpguide.sony.net/dsc/1210/v1/en/contents/04/02/08/08.html Please let me know if that solves the focus problem. Kind regards, Amanda ------------------------- Date: Oct 11, 2022, 10:02 PM -0700 To: Amanda Nicholas Hi Eric, Attached is a quote for the tether termination kit, and instructions for how to use the contents for tether termination (yours is the 2.7mm tether). Please let us know if you'd like to proceed with an order.

Long press on mode switch disables sending commands. short press on mode switch enables sending commands. Sending `$PCSDISABLE` into MQTT disables sending commands Sending `$PCSENABLE` into MQTT enables sending commands When control station command sending is disabled: `$PROVAUTOSTART` is sent to ROV/Jetson when commands are enabled: `$PROVAUTOSTOP` is set to ROV/Jetson Let us know if this seems suitable.
