It's been a long time. I haven't been following development. There were only like 3 monitors in the game at the time of creation. And since then other AIS modules came out. I can't even remember what my motivation was behind creating this.

But I did enjoy creating it and expressing my love for Stormworks at the time. I appreciate the fact that people are still stopping by and trying out the module. Feel free to modify it and perhaps make it your own. As for me my time within the community has come to an end for now.

what monitor does it need?

It doesn't seem to be doing anything when it picks up a signal. I think I have everything connected. What could I be doing wrong?

I realized I explained it as if you need two radios, but it's just one for sending and receiving.

You need one radio for sending and one for receiving. A GPS, Compass Sensor, Linear Speed Sensor, Throttle, Tilt Sensor. They are named relative to what they connect to on the microcontroller.

confused how to hook up. can u provide list of needed parts, ect

Thanks I'll check it out. Let me know if you have any specific features you'd like to be added.

This is flawless, no doubt about it. Could take some inspiration from PenguinO's air type transponder, as that works really well too.

The throttle simply shows how far a ship has their throttle pushed. Between 0 and 1. It was more or less for an update with the AIS display but due to the complicated math I haven't been able to manage rotations on shapes.

what does the throttle do?

So I've spent the last couple of hours trying to implement names. This was a planned feature. Though not to the depth you're probably asking for. To properly send a name over the radio frequency I need at least 26 free number channels.

At this point I'd have to add a new radio into the transmitter and that would break existing creations using AIS. IMO. It would be better off to create a new micro-controller specifically for transmitting names.

Is it possible to put in a changeable name for each transponder?

No, unfortunately I had troubles trying to draw a triangle that faces the direction your ship is traveling.. so I didn't progress much after that. As far as I know its still working unless some recent update has broken it. Is there any features you were looking for specifically?

Are there any updates on the updates to this. I am keen to help if needed. I dont know much about lua though.

Map is working again, pretty late on posting this.

Just a heads up as of 0.7.2-3 The Recent Hotfix, the map is currently broken and not rendering.
