DistoX... ready for paperless surveying!

DistoX... ready for paperless surveying!

I soldered an electrical circuit board (designed by caver Beet Heeb in Zurich Switzerland) to my Leica Disto A3. The board extended the functionality of my disto by three axis... electronic compass/clinometer and also added a Bluetooth connection that sends wireless readouts to my PDA. In the cave I can place the distoX on-point... shoot the laser at the target-point and the distox sends the dist./az./inclin to my PDA along with a line-plot. The program (PocketTopo) then allows me to sketch in the walls and details on the PDA screen... on the fly. Paperless Mapping. Back home I can export the data and sketches to my desktop cave mapping program.
