Updated Helicopter Autopilot Microcontroller

Helicopter Automated Navigation Colllection

Description
An updated version of my helicopter GPS autopilot. Added internal logic to make sure the vehicle makes the smallest degree turn available, and to increase stability when the waypoint is directly south of the vehicle.

In order to use this autopilot you will need a GPS sensor, compass sensor, large keyboard, and an on/off toggle button. A speed sensor will allow the microcontroller to calculate the ETA. The vehicle's yaw and pitch outputs and the gyro's inputs will need to be run through the microcontroller in order to allow the autopilot to steer and turn off when reaching the waypoint. Works well with the altitude hold and pitch override in the collection. If you have any questions or issues please let me know!

I could upload a version with trim and pitch control if you would like.

I only installed this on a regular helicopter. It only controls the yaw because I made a separate controller for the pitch I believe. With the new rotors in the game you need to have an adjustable trim in the autopilot as well.

Hold up are you installing this on a gyrocopter?
(Do you have a different engine pushing you forward independent from the rotor blades... Ok it might be the same engine but the point is you get the majority of your speed from NOT your rotor blades?)
