TBS Multi Waypoint Auto Pilot and Transponder Locator

-----------------------


-- TBS Touchscreen Autopilot and Transponder Locator --

This is an easy to use and simple to setup Monitor based Autopilot. Most of the inputs will be set with the screen, except Target Altitude for aircraft. Please use a Small Keypad for that.
What it does is making it easy and convenient to move somewhere else. This Setup has been mostly designed for aircraft, but can also be used with other types of vehicles.
In order to adjust it to your vehicle, please use the Menu Options. You can chose, which Axis to use for throttle, steering and Altitude, as well as the strength with which the controlls will be used.

This Autopilot will switch from your Seat Input to internal Logic once activated.
You can plug your Seat into the Controller, and use the Composite Output like any other Seat!
For Use in an Aircraft, a propper Gyro Setup (custom or vanilla) is advised! This AP acts as a Seat, not as stabelizer!

This Microcontroller is compatible with all Monitors, EXCEPT 1x1, 1x2!

If you want to test this Autopilot, you can do so in my latest vehicle. Please use the Switch buttons below the Monitor to set the Screen to the Autopilot!

The Locator will print a green Circle around your current position. This marks the distance to the Beacon. The Distance is also listed as Number on the right (unit = meter)
Periodically, the Transponder will save the latest 3 distance rings. They are colored in green/brown. These will help you to find the Beacon. The spot where they overlap is where the Beacon is. Keep moving for best results!
