Not accepting input
I have a *very* simple arm (just one rotor and a cockpit at the moment) and I can't get the rotor to rotate.

void MArmOS_Configuration(){ var baseRotor = new Rotor( Name: "Advanced Rotor (Crane Base)", Axis: "Z", OriMode: 0 ); var myArm = baseRotor; var myController = new UserControl(Arm: myArm, ShipControllerKeyword: "Arm Controller"); }

I have a cockpit with "Arm Controller" in its name. I've set up two LCD's, one for echo and one for log.

On the echo display, I can see the "Current Input" values changing when I press WSAD etc. but the rotor doesn't move.

I'm sure I've done something silly but I just can't see it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi,
your arm is currently of length 0.
Because of that, MArmOS cannot calculate the rotation of the rotor. You should add a Solid to it.
eg: var myArm = baseRotor+new Solid(1, 0, 0);

Also, if you want to use the mouse, you can set OriMode to 1 on your rotor.
Have a nice day

Thanks, that explains it. Thanks.

Ok, so that got the base rotor moving. Now I'm trying to set this up:

void MArmOS_Configuration(){ var baseRotor = new Rotor( Name: "Advanced Rotor (Crane Base)", Axis: "Z", OriMode: 0 ); var solid = new SolidSG(10,0,16); var hydrolicActuator1 = new Piston(Name: "Piston (Crane Hydrolic 1)", Axis: "X"); var baseHydrolic = new Hydraulic( Axis: "Y", OriMode: 0, Actuator: hydrolicActuator1, Tangent1: 0.5, Tangent2: 0.5*6, Normal1: 0.5*7, Normal2: 0.5 ); var myArm = baseRotor + baseHydrolic + solid; var myController = new UserControl(Arm: myArm, ShipControllerKeyword: "Arm Controller"); }

... and now nothing moves again :(

I've ran into this multiple times. Here's a PR :)
