So, this is the 3rd and most updated version of the Terrain Mapping Sattelites we have developed (RTOS). This is a fully automated Mapper designed for Luna. but can be used in other planets with some modifications. This uses TextMeshPro to display a set of pixels that are colored in a way what will make it so the darker ones mean that the surface is lower, and lighter colors mean higher. The base version uses a 15x15R125 configuration. this means a 15 by 15 square of data points with spacings of around 125 meters. the R portion can be changed in the $Res variable in the program, the grid requires more modificatiions that i could explain if needed.
You might need to make some changes that will make it work as you want it to.
1- Set your slowmode to the highest possible (20x) this will help the craft take more accurate data points.
2- The program comes with a variable for the resolution of the system (set that to the distance in meters you want the data points to be separated by)
3- You have to align the antenna perpendicular to where you're moving, use AG5 to activate the rotator and Slider 1 to move it around, once it is set properly set AG5 off and set Slider 1 to 0 (you can skipe the turning off and setting slider to 0)
Once that is done, open the log on the command chip (under the fork antenna) and press AG7 to start the loop.
All feedback is apprecieated. if this has any issues please contact me on discord or in the comments here

Also, thanks to gozinya and to thegeeknerd as some small portions of this code are derived from gozinya's "Vizzy Terrain Mapper" post. and the RGB to HEX conversion is fully made by thegeeknerd.
