BlackTip Firmware Programming

We believe the best DPV is the one you make your own. That's why we've released all the tools you'll need to customize your BlackTip's firmware settings to fit your diving needs. All our BlackTip scooters ship with the most recent firmware version pre-installed, no upgrading required. These are a few of the settings and options you can control:

• Starting Gear
  • Select which speed gear your scooter will start up in
• Number of Gears
  • Change the amount of speed gears you can cycle up/down through
• Gear Speeds
  • Change the velocity of a specific gear, or all of them

Follow the video tutorial below for a step-by-step guide through the whole process! You will also need to reference the links below for software and files:
