Setting up the SmartCast
Double click on the SmartCast icon on the desktop
Set the COM port from the drop-down menu and set the baud rate using the arrows, only the
value 57600 is available.
Click “Connect SmartCast”, the display should look like the one below if everything was done right.
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
If not known, find the COM port labeled “Arduino Uno”. This can be done by typing “Device
Manager” in the search bar in the boZom le[ corner of the screen. Once there find
“Ports (COM & LPT)” such as the example below and record the COM port number (in this
case COM8)

Stuck Underwater
If the system cannot pull the sensor up out of the water it will go into a conDnuous error, stopping casts
from being made but sDll allowing RC control and motor control.
Use a combinaDon of RC control and maneuvering the boat to try and free the sensor. Once the sensor is
free the “Clear Error” buZon can be used to clear the conDnuous error and allow the system to be
armed again.

Important Tips
1
-Do not run the QuickCast while the boat is
moving quickly, or in a heavy current.
2
-If a depth is set but the “set depth” buZon is
not set, when the cast buZon is clicked the last
cast value will be used. A new depth does
not need to be set if the same depth is desired.
3
-It would be good pracDce to unspool and respoo
l the line before every mission
to ensure the line does not
become tangled. Tangled lines can result in
the direcDon of moDon to be reversed or large a
mounts of line being released at once, both
of which can stop the SmartCast from
funcDoning properly.
