Kronus, instead of using the output on the big velocity pivots, just use a forwards facing compass sensor connected to the lidar, it should work the same EXCEPT for the lidar is now facing relative to north, rather than your boat, which can be easy to fix if it really a problem, (just place a second compass on the base of your boat, and subtract the one on the lidar as "A", and the other as "B") because now the lidar will be facing correct relative to maps. I know this comment is two years late, but maybe it'll help someone.

OK, I found the problem. It does not work with compact velocity pivots. It requires the big velocity pivot to output the current rotation value. A pity! I hate the noise that the big velocity pivot makes on top of the pilothouse of my boat!

i'm having the same problem as Kahrstrom

It was the pivot that was the problem, it was the wrong way around

is it not mirrored when you connect other microcontrollers?

The monitor is the right way round though

that happens when the screen is mirrored, remove it and try placing it again

The image is mirrored for some reason

Having some trouble getting this to work. Everything wired up correctly (afaik, double and triple checked), going at 0.47 speed and the radar is measuring range. The radar scan symbol is not moving on the screen however and it is not showing any radar signatures.

Is this outdated or am I doing something stupid?

thank you!

Great job !

cool

the line and pivot turn in opposite directions, is that how its supposed to be?

yes if you give credit like my name and link to the workshop page

Can I use this on a uploaded creation?
