This is how yours should be wired. (forgive the crude drawing)

(edit - Just to be clear you need two relays per motor to control forward and reverse.)

Here's a link for the Seafox wiring. The COM, NC and NO are different on these relays, but you should be able adapt it to your relay.

Thx for the help, the releys works perfectly

Is this the right way to read the reley

1 and 2 NC

5 and 6 COM
7 and 8 Coil

You can not directly connect the USB output of the video camera to the CAT6 cable, you must use the so-called "Video Balums", read the publications of how to connect the video cameras that are in the forum.

Thx! I will do that

Hi I´m struggling what camera to choose. I will have dive depth to maximum 60 ft. At the moment my idea is to use a laptop for live feed and recording video (OBS to change camera settings contrast etc.). From computer usb adapter to Cat6 cable down to rov usb adapter again and actioncam that I drill...

Good morning. For the price that video cameras have today, I do not think it is worth fixing that one, taking into account that according to the photo, you are missing the electronic control board, and several other parts. Greetings Hi Yes you are probably right. I have the other parts but I agree ...
