DVL A50 Interfaces Summary

The DVL A50 supports both UART and Ethernet interfaces for communication and configuration, as seen in this page.

UART Interface (Serial)

  • The DVL A50 uses a 3.3V TTL UART interface, and is 5 V tolerant
  • UART pins: TX, RX, and common GND should be connected to a UART‑USB converter for communication
  • Serial port settings:
    • Baud rate: 115200 bps
    • Format: 8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit)
    • Flow control:

Ethernet Interface (Network GUI)

  • The DVL A50 provides 10/100 BASE‑T Ethernet, enabling access to a web‑based GUI
  • Access the GUI at http://waterlinked‑dvl
  • Through the GUI you can:
    • View live data visualizations
    • Configure settings (e.g. network, acoustics, IMU calibration)
    • Perform software updates and diagnostics
