fun fact: in the description, he said "radar" 16 times.















im bored, ok?

i cant get it to work with the new radars either

The laser sensor has to point into the same direction as the radar dish. The easiest way is to put laser senor and radar onto the same pivot and set the radars sweep mode to static
omenakunkku 17 Dec, 2021 @ 11:51am 
if i use the normal radar can i still use the laser sensor?

I'm still not understanding this properly with the new radars. I could use some help if you have the time.
sengir_vampire  [author] 9 Oct, 2021 @ 1:43am 
I just added a quickfix for the new radar dishes. Please read the description on how to setup the new radar.
Echoless 8 Oct, 2021 @ 8:26pm 
is this going to be updated for the new radars?
sengir_vampire  [author] 9 May, 2021 @ 6:29am 
It's only the microcontroller and you can find it in the categorie "Workshop Microcontrollers" of the workshop components list. It's a small 3x3 controller with an image of a radarscreen.
jjthomp 9 May, 2021 @ 4:55am 
how does this work? is it a micro controller because i cant find it?
sengir_vampire  [author] 15 Feb, 2021 @ 1:00am 
the sonar module should work like the radar module, so it should work, never tried it.
khunter3911 14 Feb, 2021 @ 5:55pm 
does this work with sonar

Love how it draws land. Might help my frequency of "unscheduled impact resistance tests" . My bridge is pretty packed though for control space. Request for a touch screen for the Switch and Orientation controls.
SierraFox 7 Jun, 2020 @ 2:54am 
Okay thanks !
sengir_vampire  [author] 6 Jun, 2020 @ 12:56pm 
You have to set a high constant value at the distance input of the controller if you want to use it without distance sensor. This value has to be larger than the radar range.
SierraFox 6 Jun, 2020 @ 11:24am 
Hello ! Do this controller also work with only the radar ?
Can I use it withouth the Distance sensor ?
Looks awesome tho, good job !
sengir_vampire  [author] 18 May, 2020 @ 3:01am 
This is the restriction of the small radar. It looks max. 22.5° (FOV=0.125) below the horizontal axis. You can build the radar pitched down on a rotating pivot, that could help.

any way to adapt this to an aircraft? having trouble picking up ships with it while airborn
sengir_vampire  [author] 24 Mar, 2020 @ 11:14am 
You can define the selectable ranges in the ranges-property. Just set your range(s) there. The first one is the one the controller starts with.
AXEL_X 24 Mar, 2020 @ 10:56am 
One more question, how can i change the range? Like im using the Laser distance sensor that has a much bigger range than the normal sensor, how can i use the full range of the laser sensor?
AXEL_X 24 Mar, 2020 @ 4:28am 
thank youu
sengir_vampire  [author] 24 Mar, 2020 @ 4:23am 
Here is a testassembly to show you a working system: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1749501249
AXEL_X 24 Mar, 2020 @ 3:48am 
hii, so this MC can make the radar block and and distance sensor work together?? i don't really get how i should configured. can you help me trough disc or give me the link of some video taht can help me?
Verrik 8 Feb, 2020 @ 12:56pm 
You are awesome!
sengir_vampire  [author] 8 Feb, 2020 @ 2:35am 
Now, I added the possibility to change the object color, the colors are now entered as 6-Digit Hex-Numbers: 00FF00=brigt green, FF0000=bright red
Verrik 7 Feb, 2020 @ 11:25am 
Ah thank you. Is there an easy way to change the color of detected objects to red? (People, crates, etc)
sengir_vampire  [author] 7 Feb, 2020 @ 3:02am 
The objects detected by the radar (input "Object Distance [m]") are shown brighter then the rest. The controller doesn't need the signal for object detected, because an object is also detected when it's distance is > 0
Verrik 6 Feb, 2020 @ 7:28pm 
I love this radar setup but is there a way to configure it to detect objects also? Maybe have them show up in red? There doesn't seem to be an "Object Detected" input from the dish on this. Or does it already do that and I'm missing something.
Mixxd 3 Jan, 2020 @ 6:03pm 
Sengir, thank you, i should have post that i figured it out too. :D great module
sengir_vampire  [author] 2 Jan, 2020 @ 2:22am 
You can set the offset-property to 180° and the direction-property to reverse to mirror the rotation input
Mixxd 1 Jan, 2020 @ 12:06pm 
How do invert the input for Sonar? because Sonar is upside down.
Spider 29 Dec, 2019 @ 1:47am 
Just noticed the minimum distance update while working on a new ship. Thanks so much!
Spider 26 Oct, 2019 @ 11:21am 
Awesome work! Is it possible to add a variable minimum distance function so it won't detect my ship? Thanks!
TheLastEngineer 14 Oct, 2019 @ 9:28am 
Cool Thx....thats not problem i just use more then 1 Radar :)
sengir_vampire  [author] 13 Oct, 2019 @ 1:41am 
The new radar dishes can only detect objects, no land. But you can use them with this controller, too. To manange their rotation, use my rotation controller https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1888234941
TheLastEngineer 12 Oct, 2019 @ 9:31am 
could you update it for the new Radars/Sonar
TheLastEngineer 12 Oct, 2019 @ 6:51am 
can you make it touch?
sengir_vampire  [author] 7 Sep, 2019 @ 1:42pm 
It's totally ok. I'm working also for a controller for the new radars
SlimIsJim 7 Sep, 2019 @ 8:29am 
Hi Sengir_vampire. Okay with me referencing your system here?

Sengir_vampire, recently upgraded a ship I had created and decided to use the radar(s) you had created. It came out great! Thanks for all your hard work, I made sure to leave a link in the description to your original work.

Oh, by the way do you like my ship?
Psycho Ruby 7 Jun, 2019 @ 11:06am 
Thanks so much.
sengir_vampire  [author] 7 Jun, 2019 @ 9:49am 
Hi Billy, I added a working radar to your storm runner. Not beautiful, only to show you how to do it. Modified WaveRunner
Psycho Ruby 6 Jun, 2019 @ 8:06pm 
Can you just make one for me please because I can't figure it out at all.
Psycho Ruby 6 Jun, 2019 @ 7:39pm 
Look at my creation if that will help (and yes I will credit you.)
Psycho Ruby 6 Jun, 2019 @ 7:37pm 
Help please. I don't know how to connect the input from the velocity pivot to the input on your controller. How did you do that?

GigaGremlinJr 28 May, 2019 @ 7:32am 
Just as a hint you need a turning Tilt Sensor,mounted on a velocity privot.
Just make sure its not upside down.
But great mod!
