can connect smartphone app to Senseplay
Race controller via USB port on top of the
controller. There are 2 ports in the controller,
a Type-A
Senseplay Race to phone, and another
Type-C USB port for charging.
3) First, turn on remote using the power button
at the bottom of the Remote
4) In the middle of the remote there is a switch
users need to select between Android app
and iOS app, select the appropriate mode
depending the smartphone type.
5) Once the users open the app, the remote
will start searching for the latest device it is
connected to, or users can select another
device to connect to. Once connected,
users can start streaming and controlling
Navatics MITO
3.2. Sensor Calibration
When first receiving MITO, it is recommended for
users to calibrate the gyroscope and compass. In
addition, compass recalibration is recommended
when diving in new place, to adjust to the magnetic
condition of the dive site. The instructions below
provides guidelines to calibrate the compass.
1) First, start MITO and the tether floatation,
and connect the Senseplay Race to MITO.
(Follow section 3.1 for more details).
2) Start the Navatics app in the smartphone.
3) Go to Camera
parameters settings icon to open the dialog
box. Go to the calibration page (Check
section 3.4.2 for more details).
4) Place MITO on a flat ground, let is still, and
press calibrate gyroscope. MITO will be
restarted and the LED light will flash. The
calibration process runs for around 1
second each.
5) Finally, press calibrate compass. The
calibration process is as following:
1) Hold MITO with the bottom facing the
ground. Rotate horizontally for 360
degrees.
2) Once the calibration finished the LED
will be turned off. Now MITO is ready to
dive.

3.3. Vehicle Motion Controller
Controlling MITO is very simple. Users are only
required to move it in horizontal plane. The vertical
plane and orientation control has been taken care
of by the vehicle control system. There are a set of
motion users can actuate with MITO, which are:
1) Dive → let MITO dive to depth by setting a
target depth. It is capable of diving and
rising while holding its attitude, subject to its
thruster design
2) Tilt → MITO is capable of tilting and holding
its attitude at a certain pitch angle. This,
however,
horizontal speed it can actuate
3) Horizontal drive → MITO is capable of
changing
horizontal plane at any given pitch angle
and depth
There list of automated motion is:
1) Set to flat → Set MITO back to
on
orientation

3.4.1 Basic Motion Control
Using Senseplay Surf controller to control MITO is
really simple. The control scheme is described
below.
