iDig is provided with display icons guided procedures (patented) to get self automatic calibration performed by the user himself. At CONEXPO in Las Vegas, visitors will have the opportunity to see the CONNECT range in action and experience the benefits of iDig’s excavator guidance systems firsthand. iDig’s team will be available to answer any questions and provide demonstrations of the systems. You can prepare your 3D data in DXF for small projects and upload it to the excavator control box without having to use desktop project software. Feature – an entity distinct from its surroundings that usually represents a specific human activity, such as the building of a wall, the paving of a road, or the digging of a pit With gratitude to the following excavations and institutions for collaborating in the development of iDig:

Pins and bushings are well greased? A sloppy machine equals a potentially sloppy calibration and an inaccurate system.Where Credit has been previously agreed the Customer shall pay invoices within 30 days of the date of the invoice. Tap the “close polygon” button underneath the list of points to close a series of three or more points into a polygon (a closed polygon is defined as a list of points where the first point is identical to the last point). Talcott’s pencil will find all items in an area and is useful for searching previous excavation work.

No AC charging is needed.The iDig sensors are very energy-efficient and use a new generation of solar cells.Use a Leica Total Station and capture points wirelessly as they are taken (see the technical details section for setting up the Total Station with a wireless bridge). The Spotman's GNSS ultra-low power consumption dramatically improves the survey time span, and eliminates the need for spare or external batteries. Holding down on the pencil button will open a menu from which you can select either the “Camp” or “Talcott” pencil. When you circle an area with one of these pencils, a special geospatial search will be performed. After turning on Trenchmates, you can begin syncing with peers using the colored ball in the menu bar. Tap the ball to sync with peers on the same wireless network. If the ball turns yellow, then there are data conflicts between you and your peers. Tap the yellow ball to bring up the conflict resolution panel. After all conflicts are resolved, the ball will turn green. Sensors are wireless and use radio communication. No cables to get damaged, eliminate expensive service calls.

Tip: You can adjust the maximum number of coordinate digits that iDig displays before and after a decimal point. In the settings panel under “Show Maximum Digits,” specify the maximum number of digits that you want to display by typing those numbers before and after the decimal point. For example, “5.3” indicates a maximum of five digits before the decimal point and three after. Both of these special pencils will crop item boundaries to the selected area. Select “Tidy Up Cropped Items” from the action button menu to reset the item boundaries to their full extents. Up to 34 hours of autonomous work are achieved when operated as a GNSS RTK network rover and up to 16 hours as a RTK base station.

Exporting Data

No Hydraulic problems? Does the boom stay raised and doesn’t drop when left in a high position? If so, you’ll not be able to calibrate the Boom and Dipper Sensors correctly and the system will not be accurate. Each item in iDig has a distinct set of fields: a context, for example, has fields concerned with soil composition and stratigraphy, while an object has fields related to shape and form. You can also add your own custom fields and controlled vocabulary lists to match your own excavation’s recording conventions and nomenclature (see the technical details section for more information on adding custom fields). The Spotman GNSS smart antenna delivers centimeter precision in seconds and maintains reliable fixed RTK accuracy even in typically challenging environments. Here you can select an item type (feature, context, object, etc.), edit fields (title, description, status, etc.), add spatial information (points, lines, and polygons), and establish relationships between items (“is below,” “is after,” “belongs to,” etc.). Double tap on the plan to create a “touch point” with (x,y,z) values. Tap on the (x,y,z) numbers to edit them.

Add at least 3 control points by double tapping known locations on the plan for which you have real-world (x,y) meter coordinates. (This typically involves tapping on places where grid lines meet or on fixed points.) iDig's unique approach to machine guidance uses a single GNSS receiver, and in true iDig style, there are still no cables outside of the cab. iDig is designed to produce immediate digital records in the field and is heavily optimized for excavation workflows.Paris, France – iDig, a leading construction technology company specializing in 2D and 3D excavator grade control systems, is proud to announce the launch of its new CONNECT range at CONEXPO in Las Vegas from March 14 – 18 at Booth W43305. iDig proudly launches its Connect range at CONEXPO 2023 The types button allows you to select items of a particular type, such as features, contexts, and objects. iDig's Spotman GNSS receiver is a compact but powerful surveying tool, with upto 34 hours of use on a single charge. iDig says its 2D Touch system changed the excavator guidance industry, offering time and costs savings for construction businesses of all sizes. Edit the values for each control point by tapping on the corresponding (x,y,z) point values. Append the real-world coordinates to each set of values. For example, if the (x,y,z) point values are “156, 116, 0” and the (x,y) real-world coordinates for this point are “539.314 meters west, 452.99 meters north,” then after editing the values, they should read: “156, 116, 0, 539.314, 452.99”.
