Second of two posts about KoggerApp. The first one was about what the application draws — echogram, bathymetry, side-scan mosaic and the map. This one is about the rest of the sonar survey workflow: the workspace you arrange, the tools you measure with, the devices feeding it all, and the files you hand to someone else. [...]
Echogram and side-scan mosaic on one screen KoggerApp is the software half of a Kogger sonar: free, open-source (GPL-3.0) sonar survey software for Windows, Linux and Android. It connects to Kogger devices over serial or a TCP/UDP network — several at once — configures them, and turns what they return into something [...]
KOGGER sonar is an affordable device that helps "see" underwater using sound waves. It can be used to find fish, search for sunken objects, and measure the distance to the seabed. The sonar sends a sound signal into the water, and when this signal encounters an object (like a fish or a piece [...]
Here is the example how to view the recorded sonar data using Kogger application (Win32). After you run the application, press the following MENU button: Select the FILE option and choose the *.KLF log file to download: Press the mouse right button and make sure that ECHOGRAM is switched ON on the popup [...]
Switching to NMEA Thanks to the open binary protocol, our solutions have high performance at the lowest hardware cost. Below is a screenshot from the KoggerApp that demonstrates a superbly detailed Echogram of the underwater world using a compact binary protocol. However, the original binary protocol is difficult [...]
