Automatic Modular Engine Starter and W/S Reverse Gear Switch

Description
This microcontroller automatically starts and releases your modular diesel engine on the turn of a key, and allows W/S reverse fixed at a throttle which you can customise. No more fumbling with random buttons to keep your vehicle moving.

ALSO: If you want to have a variable reverse throttle, simply change the constant property number for the engine-throttle's numerical switchbox to a 1 variable function '-x'.


Logic Setup:
Inputs
  1. Throttle - Connect from the W/S of your control seat/helm
  2. Engine RPS - Connect from any one crankshaft of your modular engine
  3. Ignition - Connect from your toggle button/hotkey/key that starts your engine
Outputs
  1. Clutch - Connect to your modular engine clutch
  2. Engine Starter - Connect to your modular engine starters, and engine pumps if your use them
  3. Gear Switch - Connect to your gearbox that has the reverse gear as its ratio ON
  4. Engine Throttle - Connect to your fuel/air manifolds.

*and a less-than or threshold gate btw

Hello, are you trying to use it in neutral gear? Right now it only disengages the clutch when engine RPS < 6

You can delete the logic that controls the clutch, so you can disengage it to idle whenever you want, manually.

If you don't want to listen to the starters when your RPS is low when idling, you can add a a new INPUT from your clutch throttle connected to an AND gate, placed right before the engine-starter output. This should only let the starters on when your clutch is disengaged.
