Instructions are terrible, please re-write this to make more sense.

Is there a video guide for setting up the programmable block in GPS saving mode?

It used to be able to detect planets.
It is no longer able to detect planets.
With that removed I should put a range limiter on the raycast.
WJSabey 5 Apr, 2021 @ 9:39pm 
Can this do distant planets, or are they not detectable by raycasting?

Ohhhhhhh that makes sense, thanks

The camera charges up power to raycast 2km every second.so if you need to raycast 10km, you need to wait for the camera to charge up for 5 seconds.

What is the purpose/meaning of "laser increase 2km range each second?" Does the raycast have a velocity? How am I supposed to utilize this?

I think I figured out a way using a different mod! The AutoLCDs 2 script has the option to have one screen mirror another, so it may be possible to have the lidar LCD mirrored to an AutoLCD. I haven't tested this, but I have done mirroring other LCD screens okay.

I will check to see if it checking LCD for same grid or same construct.

Same issue as Kittamaru. Is there a way to get an LCD on a subgrid to show the results of the lidar?
