you arent late at all!, i might be a little rusty, can you describe it better? it might be something with the gps. also it in the landing or take off?. the way that it works it creates 2 circles in the landing coordinates. a outer one that minimizes how much the pitch, roll and yaw the vtol can do. and a inner one that makes the yaw = 0, and the vtol will behave much like a drone, some times when it gets in the inner circle might take a while find to land or if it was strong enough winds to push it back it might get stuck trying to fight the wind

I am probably too late to get support but I have used this in two vtols and one it works perfect but in the other it thinks it is in helicopter mode all the time and is pitching down thinking it needs to move forward.

Cool

its supposed to go to the UP/Down node in the gyroscope

Hello What Does The Channel Up/Down Suppose to connect to

oh, i see, yeah thats a pid adjustment,P is too high, try setting everything to 0 but the P, set the P to 1, and keep it adjusting until it almost set it self stable then tou adjust the D to smooth everything

this video helped me a lot how to setup a pid:

that problem is solved but when we connect all the stuff we did 2 tests one with just alt hold and one with the ap and the one with alt hold worked fine except for a bit unstable but thats because of the gyro but with the test with ap i put in the coordinates and instead of flying up to the desired altituede (or any altitude at all) right when it leaves the ground it will just instantly flip forward and the engines will keep flipping to the right and wont adjust at all to go towards the waypoint so this is kind of weird to ask but yeah could i have some help?

milkyy, ive tried to reproduce this in some ships, none of them had this happening, maybe if can see how did this will be able to help

ill be looking into to it, but my guess would be that your engines pid may be not propelly configured
pucci 19 Sep, 2021 @ 11:59am 
when i connect the up/down to my throttle pid it will almost just bypass it the jet engine will explode any fix?

nope, it starts to fly up and in correct diraction to the point on map.
i whant to make it fly horizontal to the point
Harry_rn  [author] 9 Mar, 2021 @ 11:44am 
when you turn on your autohover it tries to land?
Brodomeister 9 Mar, 2021 @ 4:21am 
yeah, i've checked it and its awesome!
but its too hard for me to figure out in this noodels of logic(
my rocket (if i turn on my autohover) flyes to the point but too has too big vertical angle, and if i turn it off it has very low angle and starts to fly down(
Harry_rn  [author] 8 Mar, 2021 @ 9:09pm 
yeah! actually in my starship build it has a prototype version of this controller. so it i'll work just fine!

Hello there !
can i somehow connect it to the rocket like falcon 9 with auto landing ?
Harry_rn  [author] 2 Mar, 2021 @ 1:19pm 
yeah sure, just put a numerical swicther in the gyro input. and the bool input for the switcher is gonna be same that you gonna use to acctivate the microcontroller. and connect your controls and the gps controls in the switcher. so now when you turn off the microcontroller it switcher to your input

i also wanna control the vtol rotation at the same time when it's off, is that possible?
Harry_rn  [author] 2 Mar, 2021 @ 12:26pm 
connect your GPS, Alt sensor, Distance sensor and the outputs go to the gyro, then you set up the internal PID. the other outputs are optional. think it might cause a problem if are connecting this directly to the pivots. assume that for the two main vtol engines. try to make them only go in to vertical mode proporcionally to the vertical speed of the craft

how do i link this up? i connected it to my VTOL but it just messes with the pivots and eventually crashes into the ocean. I also have a gyro.

I can't put it in my creation

What kind of troubles are you having?

I Can't figer out how it works
Harry_rn  [author] 20 Sep, 2020 @ 3:01pm 
yeah, sure!
A_Superior_Kiwi 20 Sep, 2020 @ 8:17am 
can you make a version where it is putputting compersite in stead of raw numbers?

@Error 404 Thank you so much!, I hope you are not having any issue. If you do feel free to share
