What is the Debug video output used for?

The new gimbal thingies sound super cool and I hope to upgrade the scanner at some point, but for the time I'm having a break from gaming so it will not happen anytime soon, unfortunately!

Have you considered updating this system to utilize the new composite sensor angle inputs? I imagine being able to adjust the scan direction without a physical part would make it more efficient

Unfortunately, not soon, but I'm hoping to upgrade it with new hardware at some point!

plans on updating this with the new gimbal laser update? it removes the need for pivots! 🥳🥳🥳

honestly, this is amazing! i put it on my research ship, and i can't wait to use it to look for ship wrecks, as well as map the floor. 10/10 would highly recommend this thing, as its incredibly easy to set up, and it works well!

@punswikovitz yeah i saw another comment that asked the same thing. thanks!

@vader8513, Yes, it uses distance sensors for measuring so it can detect pretty much anything you can see. The limitation lies with the scan resolution as it divides the world into squares of 10x10m. It should still detect most of the things you will find on the seafloor.

Ok, thanks!

Yes, definitely. Every 10x10m of the world is scanned up to 10 times and the depth will be calculated as the average of the 10 scans, so a very small vehicle might not show up.

Can this also display a sunken vehicle as uplifted terrain?

Insanely cool, perfect for the CG research vessel I'm working on. Can't thank you enough!

Damn, props for updating this with the upside down mode!
CFMdude  [author] 8 Sep, 2021 @ 8:57am 
Version 1.1 is now out!

Very good job. Easy to install, user friendly intrument thx foryour work !

Thanks! I'm working on an update with improved code for the tilt control including possibility to be placed upside down. Currently it is programmed to tilt more down depending on the depth, but it currently have a limit to how much it can tilt. In the update it will be able to point straight down.

Beautiful work of art! i would love to try this out on the observer. Thumb up!

Hey, I was wondering if there is a way to have to be placed on the underside of a ship and be pointed down at all time.

woah cool!

Good!
CFMdude  [author] 17 Aug, 2021 @ 12:12am 
That should be doable, I'll post a link within the next couple days!

I think it would be nice for this to mount on the bottom of the hull, and face downward at an angle, I would like to use this on a submarine
