Autopilot Heading Control

Description
This micro provides heading control for air vehicles (will likely work for ships to, but I haven't tried it). It works very similar to my other autopilot systems.
Push button on/off with a status output for a light or something.
When you turn it on, it holds to the current heading that you are flying.
Can also be connected to an input from 1 to 360 to program in a heading. When at zero it follows the heading when you clicked the on button, anything else and it will follow a command.

Same as others, P_HDG will change the sensitivity around the setpoint
P_deg/s and i_deg/s control how well it follows the commanded yaw rate
modify the clamp in the middle of the micro (+/- 8 stock) to modify the yaw rate while turning

Also provides a Roll output, this is designed to feed into my roll autopilot to allow coordinated turns.

Thank you much! Works perfectly, I just have to tune the sensitivity now.

Usually when that happens something is backwards. Try inverting the output to your rudder and see if that fixes it.

Hi, I need your help. When ever I activate this with a specified heading, it keeps turning in one direction. I've tried putting absurd numbers on the sensitivity but still no luck
