Sonar out conversion to 3d point cloud

Hi Michael,

Yes it’s possible, but you need a way to identify the position of the sonar to create such thing.
Ping360 will provide an relative X and Y information of the data, but to create a 3D point cloud, you’ll need to convert such X and Y points to a global 3D space, with a GPS or any other sensor that could provide absolute information for the X, Y and Z data.

And about the output string, you should take a look in our ping-protocol documentation, the sensor output vector plus angle information can be extract from this message.
