Wizkers.io

(Compatible with Kestrel 5000 Series and DROP)

Wizkers.io is a framework designed to leverage the IO capabilities of high quality scientific instruments and sensors, to configure, control, visualize, log, and export the data they generate. As an open source and platform agnostic framework, it offers unique benefits:

YOUR DATA, ON YOUR TERMS - Most "Internet of Things" services only let you access your data through their infrastructure, on their terms. Wizkers.io changes this because you own both the front-end and the back-end, and you can still connect to the remote services you choose.

TRULY OPEN - Thanks to its plugin system, Wizkers.io can be extended to support any instrument. Many instruments are already supported, more will be included in the standard distribution over time. You can help too, Wizkers.io is Open Source!

UNIVERSAL - The Wizkers.io framework is compatible with Mac OS, Windows XP to Windows 10, Linux, Android and iOS. It even runs as a standalone server on most cloud platforms or embedded devices. In other terms, you can say goodbye to platform compatibility headaches and focus on user experience instead.

The ability to calculate bullet stability. Bullet spin drift is added to the computation, and the Coriolis effect (Earth's rotation) may be factored in.

Knight's Armament BulletFlight is a military-grade ballistic computer that provides quick solutions in the field. BulletFlight does not only output information in table format but rather dynamically gives you the solution you need now to make that shot. Current weather conditions including temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction can be input, as well as angles to the target as measured by the built-in accelerometer. The app then provides highly detailed solutions out to 3000 meters. Your weapon profile includes your scope MOA/mRad per click, and hence when you provide a range to the target, the app will simply show how many clicks you need to change the scope by for that range and wind speed. Programs integrate with the Kestrel 4 Series units only.
