Vtol Alt Hold Controller Fully-Tunable[3x3]

Description
REMINDER: THIS MICROCONTROLLER WILL CONTINUE GETTING UPDATED WHENEVER I FIND AND FIX ISSUES OR ADD NEW IMPROVEMENTS.
Brief Background:
An Alt Hold Controller that I've been using for almost all my VTOLs has now been posted to help assist people who require help regarding setting up an Altitude Hold System for their own VTOLs. The main functionality of this MC is for it to reach your desired Alt Hold Setpoint whether your in Hover Mode/Plane Mode. It can also be a standalone use if you use a helicopter or a conventional plane in your setup, so meaning it's not only for VTOL use.


NOTE: Hold current alt currently doesn't work in Plane Mode.


Block Requirements:
  1. Small Keypad(Setpoint for your desired alt)
  2. Altimeter(Process Variable for the alt hold system)
  3. Gyro
  4. Instrumental/Toggle Button(For you to toggle Alt Hold/Hold Current Alt)


Module Compatibility:
-Compatible with the Tiltrotor Vtol Controller
-Compatible with the Jet Vtol Controller
-Compatible with the Fan Vtol Controller[WIP, NOT OUT YET]

@Eira Fader, tune the PID for Hover Mode or clamp the up/down to go slower.

um so my vtol does a back flip while desending while the alt hold is on

Eh now the ruder is clamped but means it just pitch up to like 90° or decent just slower

@UrbanMech Oops I thought this was the jet vtol controller page but just realized that this is the alt hold one. Just clamp the output that goes to the pitch fins/surfaces using a normal physical clamp logic/find the output connection inside then just clamp it.

I use my own made Vtol Controllerand hooked your alt hold on it.

@UrbanMech there should be a property there already, it’s called plane pitch limiters min and max.
UrbanMech 12 Feb, 2023 @ 2:14pm 
Question is there a possibility to add angle for the plane max goes for climbing and decending so it doesn´t want to go 90 down and try to get up way too late?
