is there a way to hook in a keypad to put in a way point
Bunger! 12 Apr, 2023 @ 4:41pm 
is it possible for the map to output x & y coords of the target? if so how would i do that
DodoFish 20 Aug, 2021 @ 10:04am 
Nevermind my fault i removed the compass and didn't add a new one sorry.
DodoFish 19 Aug, 2021 @ 4:38am 
On my ship its turns towards the waypoint but wont straighten out so it gets stuck in an endless circle

confusion

Don't know why, but i am trying to make it into an autopilot system for a car, but all it does is steers to the right and doesn't give any throttle out. I have everything connected (Throttle and steering in and out, touch from screen, GPS and compass heading). Please fix or help! But honestly the map feature is really great."

Just great! Possibly the best one arround. The only "but" is that it is missing a keyboard to enter vanilla map waypoints.

Love it! Nice work

Useful kit mate, thanks for the time and work you put in. Any chance you can use your dark arts to make a RTH (return to home) feature, I know it's a big ask lol, basically a flight recorder that captures xyz data every couple of seconds and stores them to stream into an autopilot I guess.....beyond my current skill-set in this game at the moment anyways but a decent idea.

no i cant get mine to work on my plane i have the flight addon and hooked everything up but now it dosent let me roll because there is no input on the flitch addon for A and D

I'll be dropping back into stormworks soon enough to see if anything has been expanded, with this chip I was already hitting the 4096 character limit.

Hopefully that has been improved and hopefully there is more methods I can use to try get more info
USMCTYRO 23 Aug, 2019 @ 9:39am 
and is there a way to limit the amount of throttle being used? dont need 100% all the time. Thanks. Great work on everything! loving it
USMCTYRO 23 Aug, 2019 @ 9:22am 
Is there a way we can multiple way points to it so we can plot a multi-Step course?
Zach 31 Jul, 2019 @ 1:34pm 
i want to ask if you can make it show missions and waypoints on the display
Jonesy 22 Jul, 2019 @ 7:09pm 
my question is how do i get in on my creation?
Storm99199 20 Jul, 2019 @ 5:48pm 
But cool!
Storm99199 20 Jul, 2019 @ 5:47pm 
I am going to put this on my new Ice Braker.
grizzly15 28 Jun, 2019 @ 1:26pm 
@stevob21 Of course its ok for me, would be happy about it.
I'm currently working on a version of the helicopter addon with anti collision, I might publish it as wip the next days.
GNU  [author] 27 Jun, 2019 @ 11:42am 
@grizzly15, Awesome! mind if I list it in the addons (and give credit)? thanks for deciding to expand upon this, life has been busy lately and this suffered due to it!

teamtdm74757 14 Jun, 2019 @ 12:55pm 
so, how do i control throttle from my helm?
TB 10 Jun, 2019 @ 8:49am 
What do i connect inputs to

Mitch-Mash 31 May, 2019 @ 8:07pm 
does it have terrain avoidance?
SpuKy 26 May, 2019 @ 9:56am 
assembling this system is quite easy. It's just nothing. :lunar2019coolpig:
SpuKy 26 May, 2019 @ 9:53am 
Pretty good but unpractical ...

Peekofwar 25 May, 2019 @ 12:42pm 
All of my engine controllers have an idle throttle value, so it wouldn't really be an issue with any of my boats. It's good to see that it's built into the system in case the engine control method doesn't compensate for that.
What I think could be useful, is a target distance as well as a finish state, where it turns off automatically once the destination is reached.
Pete 25 May, 2019 @ 7:02am 
nvm forgot to connect the composite connection to the screen. works perfect. thank you for sharing!
Pete 25 May, 2019 @ 3:01am 
Touch input isnt working for me on 2x2 screens. The bigger screens work fine.
xrider019 24 May, 2019 @ 9:22am 
I cant figure out how to recreate something like this
[NOR]Halvorsen☕ 24 May, 2019 @ 6:37am 
Nice thanks @stevob21
Sock 23 May, 2019 @ 10:57pm 
Very nice! Simple to set up and use and it works well. Really helped me get the feel right on a stealth ship I was working on (Doesn't have any windows and operates on cameras and monitors)
Keep making quality stuff like this!
garlic doggo 23 May, 2019 @ 7:39pm 
das awesome :lunar2019smilingpig:
Clan-W 23 May, 2019 @ 4:03pm 
AWESOME
GNU  [author] 23 May, 2019 @ 10:49am 
@Halvorsen I have just added a "Prevent engine stall" option to the microcontroller, this will keep the throttle at a minimum of 0.07.

I feel it may have been dropping to 0 briefly and stalling your engines
[NOR]Halvorsen☕ 23 May, 2019 @ 6:37am 
do you have any suggestion on how to make it not killing my engines? I have 4 large Diesels on to giant propeller with clutch on each of the engines. when I activates the AP it just kills my engines. I have the throttle output to the engines and throttle input from a lever on the bridge
GNU  [author] 23 May, 2019 @ 3:13am 
@Stevy2004 feel free, if you do publish the build I would appreciate a simple link back to here though :)
GNU  [author] 23 May, 2019 @ 3:12am 
@rrp2727, it should work for directional purposes but it won't control depth. If you can point me to a sample sub I'll make an add-on tonight for depth control.
Nutso27 22 May, 2019 @ 3:41pm 
Does this work for subs?
DiddumsJ 22 May, 2019 @ 3:39pm 
Wow. Nice work man! I just made a similar map myself, but without touchscreen abilities.. made it with buttons and a microcontroller. Went on the workshop looking for an autopilot to attach to it, and then I see this.. haha! Great work!
Stevy2004 22 May, 2019 @ 2:41pm 
can i use this on some of my own builds if thats ok with you?
GNU  [author] 22 May, 2019 @ 1:27pm 
Wow, this blew up in the last 24 hrs - i'd like to thank everyone for the subscription! I have some plans to further expand the functionality of this.

If anyone has any suggestions, thrown them in the comments!
iras.ziomek 21 May, 2019 @ 5:13pm 
Very nice job!
LemurBallon944 21 May, 2019 @ 9:44am 
wow thx
GNU  [author] 19 May, 2019 @ 11:24am 
Flight autopilot addon incoming, will take data from this plotter and adapt it for planes!
GNU  [author] 19 May, 2019 @ 9:15am 
@weyrs Thanks for the comment, so if I understand correctly, it doesn't correct the roll of the plane and only controls yaw?

This was only designed for land and sea vehicles but i'll try implement some functionality for planes, watch this space!
LemurBallon944 19 May, 2019 @ 4:19am 
so could you make a plane version?
LemurBallon944 19 May, 2019 @ 4:19am 
but on boats it works
