ARES RADAR V1

The ARES Radar is meant for use in any type of large naval vessel, though it can be used in any creation you want.

The video output contains the conventional radar visuals along with target information on the left which includes the distance of a target, and the heading in relation to your vehicle. The radar can track up to 6 targets at once, and each target is color coded to match with the information section on the left of the display.

⚠️ The video output doesn't support any monitors with a size smaller than 5x3! ⚠️

To setup the radar:

1. Place the microcontroller somewhere in your vehicle.
   
2. Place preferably a PHALANX radar (but it will work with any clockwise rotating radar) facing forward on your vehicle. If it is upside down make sure to invert it and ensure all arrows are facing the correct direction as if you were placing it on top of your vehicle.
   
3. Place a compass sensor facing towards the front of your vehicle. Ensure that the arrow is facing towards the front of the vehicle depending on the orientation.
   
4. Place your monitor facing towards the front of your vehicle.
   
5. (Optionally) Place an buzzer with the sound of your choice near the monitor.
   
6. Connect the numerical rotation from the radar to the microcontroller.
   
7. Connect the composite data from the radar to the microcontroller.
   
8. Connect the numerical heading from the compass sensor to the microcontroller.
   
9. Connect the video output from the microcontroller to the monitor(s) of your choice.
   
10. (Optionally) Connect the boolean target detected value from the microcontroller to the buzzer, or any other connections you'd like to turn true momentarily when a target is detected.
