Welcome to dweOS

dweOS is an optional, Linux-only, software interface designed to run on underwater systems like a Raspberry Pi, our Subsea Vision Computer and microSVC. It acts as a powerful companion to DeepWater Exploration cameras, extending their functionality and providing a seamless, out-of-the-box experience.

As of November 1st, 2024, the original dweOS has been superseded by dweOS 2.0. The original version is now referred to as dweOS Legacy.

What’s New in dweOS 2.0?

dweOS 2.0 represents a major leap forward, introducing features that dramatically enhance usability and capabilities:
  • Reliable Camera Enumeration: Thanks to Bus ID tracking, your cameras retain their specific settings even after a system reboot. No more guessing which port corresponds to which camera.
  • Integrated WiFi Management: Connect your subsea system to wireless networks directly through the dweOS interface.
  • Direct Light Control: Manage the power state and brightness of your underwater lights directly from the dashboard (currently supported on Raspberry Pi).
  • Built-in Terminal Access: Access the command line directly through the web interface for advanced configurations, without needing a separate SSH client.
  • Seamless PrecisionSync™: Out-of-the-box support for stellarHD leader/follower configurations, enabling effortless synchronization.
