Power & Remote Control

This section describes how to setup the remote control and payload viewing device.

1. Remote controller

Turn on the remote controller by:

  1. Pressing the power button once quickly.
  2. Pressing and holding the power button after the initial click.

This power button sequence is almost identical to the DJI power button sequence.

If you need to power off the remote, simply hold the button and tap Shut down on the screen. The startup power button sequence wont work.

Next once the remote turns on, open the QGroundControl application located on the homescreen

Allow access to the internal serial adapter by clicking OK

2. Payload control

Enable the hotspot on the remote controller by swiping down from the top of the screen and tapping on the hotspot symbol.

Next go to WiFi settings on your device. For this example we are using an iPad.

Find the PeerShark WiFi network and connect using the password PeerShark!

Once you are connected, browse to http://192.168.144.250 in your browser and you should be greeted with the control interface

Optional: Save as a bookmark

On mobile devices/tablets we recommend that you save the site as a bookmark.

On iPadOS follow these steps: 1. Click on the Share icon in the top right corner of the screen. 2. Tap on the Add to Home Screen option 3. Tap Save

3. Arm and control the boat

Lastly, to use the vessel you must flick the arming switch into the down position.

Remember to disarm

The arming switch prevents the motors from spinning. When the vessel is not in the water or being handled make sure the vessel is disarmed/switch in the upwards postion.

The arming switch is S1 on the remote, please see the controller overview for the full control layout.

Now the vessel is ready to be placed on the water and used.

4. Pack up

Once you are done using the vessel, you can pack it up by repeating the assembly steps in reverse order.

After you have disassembled the vessel, you will need to perform preventative maintenance to avoid voiding your warranty and prolong the life of the vessel.
