Can someone explain how this works? This person bought a BlueROV2 claw/gripper and mounted it on the FiFish V6. I want to do the same for my Gladius Mini. Based on some of the comments, he "piggy backed" the claw mechanism by switching the light up or down. I wanted to know what sort of electronics, PWM or logic board can be used and installed on the Gladius Mini. Some comments on there was to a specific PWM and voltage for the lights to control the claw. Of course the power source would need to be hooked up similar to this mod for the FiFish. The benefit of this is you don't need an extra tether and you don't need a float pod.
Please give us some ideas if you know!
