ISAN

Page in progress

Summary

ISAN is an open source ship navigation system using YOLOL.

Setup

The Setup is explained in this document. If you encounter a problem or need help visit the Collective Discord.

Modules

Each ISAN installation needs a core module. More features can be added by connecting new addon modules connected to the core's memory chip. For further detail, see documentation. If you invent any new module or got improvements for existing ones, you can contribute to the github.

Module	Hardware	Description
Mono Core	1 Adv+ YOLOL, 1 Receiver	Made as compact as possible. However, it's not as accurate as Quad while moving.
Quad Core	1 Adv+ YOLOL, 4 Receivers	The recommended ISAN core with unmatched speed and accuracy.
Velocity	1 Pro YOLOL	Grants velocity readout (dependent on coordinate accuracy).
UOCM	1 Pro YOLOL	Universal Orientation Calculation-Momentum grants heading and pitch when flying straight.
WNS	1 Pro YOLOL, UOCM	Waypoint Navigation System lets you enter a target destination and get directions towards it.

Development

The Integrated System for Autonomous Navigation was long theorized. During Closed Alpha, R&D began by Solonerus, Lumi Virtual, Strikeeaglechase and Nordwolf from Collective. The initial release included documentation and a video of ISAN Mono and ISAN Quad. ISAN's development is still active, so expect further improvement.

Event	Time	Description
Release	June 25th 2020	Collective releases ISAN 1.0 to the public. (See document)
Opensource	August 15th 2020	ISAN gets an opensource github page

How it works

ISAN uses radio signals from the Radio transmitters of multiple stations to determine the distance to each. Knowing the position of these stations, the distances can be used for Multilateration to calculate position. ISAN's technical details is elaborated on github.

ISAN coordinates define a point of X, Y, Z in Space. [0,0,0] is defined to be Origin spawn station.

• X - Along asteroid belt. If on Origin station, towards an X-shaped station.
• Y - Out towards asteroid belt, away from planet Eos.
• Z - "Up", perpendicularly to the sunny side of the asteroid belt.

Known radio transmitters locations:

Starmap

ISAN can be used alongside the community-made ISAN Starmap. The Starmap is in development, so expect changes.

Planned future features:

• Safezone borders
• Station info
• More
