Intro
SmartBlade is an Android program intended to be used in heavy equipment as an indicate only RTK GPS interface. It draws elements from SmartTrack like the simplified tablet oriented interface and remote management features but requires the RTK GPS underpinnings from SmartGrade. The marketing group sometimes refers to it at SmartGrade MC so we shouldn't get too attached to any name until they make their mind up.
Flow
Machine Control acts a lot like SmartTrack in that it pushes things like keys and file selection down so the actual operator doesn't interact with those elements very often. The flow should be this.
First Time (No key, no file)
- Ordered List Item
Second Time (Previous login, Previous file)
- Ordered List Item
With no Alignment in file
Allowing Alignment from MC
Settings from Job Manager to disallow.
Features
The feature set is an amalgam of things we've done for other android programs with a couple of exceptions. The new features are Section offset and all the visualization and settings required for the blade
