Introducing the Software Development Kit

The Software Development Kit  (SDK) is provided to allow users to develop their own application to communicate with and operate any Impact Subsea sensor.

 

The SDK provides the following:

  • Ability to open, close and configure the computer’s serial and network ports.
  • Interact with Serial over LAN (SOL) or (network to serial adapters).
  • Automatically discover Impact Subsea devices connected to the computer.
  • Automatically detect NMEA devices, such as a GPS connected to the computer serial ports.
  • Dynamically creates objects to manage each discovered device and allow the user’s application to interact with the device via this object.
  • Log all connected Impact Subsea devices and GPS data to a log file.
  • Play back of log files.

 

The SDK is written in C++17 and cmake is used for compiling the project. It has been written in a cross-platform way with embedded credit card computers in mind, such as the Raspberry Pi and Beagle Bone type systems. The minimum hardware specification is:

  • 100Mhz 32-bit processor with FPU (Floating Point Unit)
  • 32MB RAM

How to Access

The Software Development Kit (SDK) can be found on GitHub using the link above.

There is also an example project link above that shows how to use the SDK and helps users get up and running quickly.

The SDK is available free of charge to all Impact Subsea sensor users.

To use the open source version of the SDK your Impact Subsea sensor will require to have V3.0.0 firmware and above.

For using sensors in ROV and other applications the seaView software is provided to enable image viewing, data logging and configuration of Impact Subsea sensors.

Exceptionally Powerful Kit

“The release of the open source SDK will provide users of Impact Subsea sensors with an exceptionally powerful kit to develop applications.

The cross platform capability will simplify development considerably and we have added many improvements over the previous SDK.”

Commented Alistair Mclennan-Murray, Technical Director, Impact Subsea.
