0/10 i want a altitude hold, not a freakin roller coaster, even with a gyro.

You need to activate gyroscope first before using it

what if i slapped this on a submarine

Can I use the controler in a plane I want to put on the Workshop?

Works perfectly fine

ok now all it does is flips. what is wrong with this things????
E P I C M O M E N T 30 May, 2024 @ 3:06pm 
ive tried three different alt holds and none of them worked for me either. I have no idea whats wrong

I do no believe this works still. I hooked up the pitch input to the w/s on the seat, put the altitude setpoint to a small keypad, altitude got hooked to an alitimeter, hooked the activate altitude hold to a toggle switch, got the output to the gyro pitch to the gyro and hooked the autohover with the same button, and the gyro is connected to control surfaces. all it does is lean sideways.

im using this on a second edition of a small medium bomber. thanks ;):steamthis:

Amazing

my plane just goes vertical when i try to set it to higher heights

thanks mate

pitch output = to seat w/s. pitch input to gyro. altitude setpoint to keypad.

this would not work with a helicopter right?

what is pitch setpoint?
theoceanchannel 6 Mar, 2023 @ 8:42pm 
how do i hook it up?

This Microcontroller is Good For Going Up But Not For Going Down

Amazing microcontroller thanks for sharing it with the community
robonoob_per 23 Oct, 2022 @ 6:55am 
is it also good for submarines
????????

ey nice plane! what is it called?
njunuk 30 Jul, 2022 @ 2:56am 
i know how to make it but im too lazy
sean97T 6 Jun, 2022 @ 6:38am 
Yeah all this did was send my aircraft into loop de loops
toastmlg 19 Jan, 2022 @ 1:25pm 
can this be used on a vtol?
maximum_moneyz 10 Jan, 2022 @ 10:58am 
I couldn't get this to work, could someone help me?
sisimaru1006 3 Jan, 2022 @ 1:44am 
いいんじゃないの?

The derivative gain is best at 0.0001 which fixes the bobbing issue. Other than that, great controller
Ryd-X4 24 Dec, 2021 @ 8:00am 
Nevermind, all figured it out.

Pitch In goes to W/S controls, while Pitch Out goes through the Gyro.

You're all welcome!
Ryd-X4 24 Dec, 2021 @ 7:42am 
The key connections of the microcontroller, such as the Pitch In/Out doesn't describe which goes where.

Mind explaining where Pitch In goes to and vise-versa? Please make the response quick as I've got a VTOL to release.
Thanks!

Your derivative number in the PID is way too low, you can fix all of the bobbing with a derivative of at least 1 instead of 0.01. D is essentially "How fast should I approach the setpoint?" With it being so low it is almost not regulated and will accelerate until it hit the setpoint. A high D prevents the acceleration and help the overshooting effect.

if your plane is shaking try adjusting your gyro's limiters
Messnot 16 Apr, 2021 @ 3:15pm 
It dosen't work I tried everything
TheWhompingWhale 5 Apr, 2021 @ 7:59am 
Do I need to adjust the PID controller? when i used it, my plane violently oscillates around the altitude I put in. Any help?
Noi-022 29 Mar, 2021 @ 6:59pm 
thank you
AutoCosmonaut 4 Mar, 2021 @ 8:31am 
takes so many clamps and adjustments to work i dont reccomend it
Felix 2 Mar, 2021 @ 2:54pm 
do i need a switchbox
Jesus Christ 22 Feb, 2021 @ 7:31am 
Using it in a TIE bomber when I perfect it I'll post stay tuned
AutoCosmonaut 29 Jan, 2021 @ 2:26pm 
used it in my plane, now it likes to wobble
Paul111king 14 Jan, 2021 @ 11:14am 
going to use this on my fokker friendship, bedankt

hm
Soeffingdiabetic 12 Dec, 2020 @ 4:17pm 
-4 holds me at 17m
Soeffingdiabetic 12 Dec, 2020 @ 4:16pm 
i set it to 20 and it holds at 40 and when i set it to 10 it holds at 31. ill see what happens when i set -4
Billy-blij-1-2-3  [author] 12 Dec, 2020 @ 1:53am 
Is it like when you set it to to -4 it goes to 10?
Soeffingdiabetic 11 Dec, 2020 @ 5:59pm 
so im using this but whenever i try to set an alt thats low, like 6m it gets stuck at around 20m and i cant find any clamps in the mc or anything that would cause that
Billy-blij-1-2-3  [author] 17 Nov, 2020 @ 5:01am 
this is a general alt hold, it needs to work for every purpose so im leaving it as basic as possible
AutoCosmonaut 17 Nov, 2020 @ 12:33am 
I suggest adding a small clamp to it which restricts its pitch and add a tilt sensor to further make it accurate
Billy-blij-1-2-3  [author] 7 Nov, 2020 @ 5:20am 
yes go ahead
Builders_Hammer 7 Nov, 2020 @ 3:49am 
Hey could i use your alt hold system in a rocket im uploading if i credit you?-
