The main purpose of this controller is the land detection with a distance sensor, but to strip this down, you need to simulate the rotation with a function block: f(x)=x-0.01, where the input must be connected to the Yaw-Output of the controller and the output must be connected to the Rotation Input of the controller. The distance input must be connected to a large constant number.

So how would you eliminate the rotating distance sensor / compass sensor entirely leaving just radar input (and rotating it "internally")? I need a more compact installation and am willing to give up the land sensing function.

It's a small demonstration setup for the controller, it works on its own (battery). It should show you how to use the controller in your own creation.

Where do i ad power ?

hi i like your simple system here any way you could update with a color change to contrast pings better like the Silhouette it draws in diff color?

@[C1-63] J. Edwards you have to use a bigger screen, the 2x2 and 1x1 just cant fit the text on themselves

How do you get the text to show?

ok thanks

This depends on the FOV value of the radar. In the testassembly I use a relativey small number to increase the accuracy.

does it detect stuff that is below the distance sensor?

thank you so much, very helpful!

The small radar/sonar rotate without putting them on a pivot, they use the facing yaw input to turn. Of course you can put the radar on top of the rotating distance sensor, and leave the facing yaw input blank, this should work, too. the distance sensor detects land and vehicles to a max. distance of 2000m. This also restricts the radar dish to 2000m. If you want to use more than 2000m don't use the distance sensor and connect the "Distance[m]"-input to a constant of 5000 or more.

i'd like to use this in one of my vehicles, however I am curious, shouldn't the radar also rotate? and it only seems to pick up land, how can i get it to pick up vehicles if it's even possible, and finally how to increase it's range to the full 5000, thank you

The distance sensor is (also) used to hide the objects which aren't visible. If you want to use the controller without this feature just set the distance input to a large constant number, that should work.

Does this require a distance sensor? When I removed the distance sensor, the dot disappeared. Why is this?

If this does require a distance sensor, that would mean that the controller can only detect up to 2 Km despite the RADAR having a range of up tp 5 Kms (on paper at least).

I added a phosphorescence property to the new radar controller (3x2 in size) for modifying the visibility time of objects.

I looked over the Lua script for a while trying to figure out how I can lengthen how long objects are drawn on the screen, but I wasn't sure what to edit. Do you know what line I should edit?

Of course, you can use it :)

May I use this in one of my creations? I'll credit you for it of course.
