Camera long range scanner

This script will use a camera and a lcd screen to display found objects. Trigger by run or timer, idk.

The name of the camera to be used is in the SCAN_CAMERA variable, the name of the LCD is in SCAN_INFO.
You can edit these in the script to use the names you desire, or you can use the default values, calling the blocks SCAN_CAMERA and SCAN_INFO.

You can designate a inbuilt cockpit screen, by defining cockpit name and screen ID (start counting from 0).
That screen will need to be set to "Text" mode.

Enter the range up to which you want to scan in the Run parameter, and trigger the programmable block manually over toolbar or with a timer block set to "Run with default settings". Default range is 20000 meters. Shorter range scans more often and uses less power - longer range behaves the other way round.

There may be a "buildup for longer range scans, especially for small block vehicles.


It will display the data for the object centered in the camera, up to the wanted range.

Distance to you
Velocity
Ownership
Name
Grid ID
Heading
It will provide GPS coordinates to be copy/pasted for the absolute position, and the position the scan beam hit the object.
