[Beginner Friendly] Transverse Rotor Aircraft Mi
I saw a lack of microcontrollers for Transverse Rotor aircraft, so I thought I'd post my take on it!
I tried to make this as beginner friendly as possible, as I struggled figuring out how to set such a vehicle up.
If my controller helps you build something, PLEASE give the post a like and/or award!
How do I use this?
You'll need:
[list]
[*] This [b] Microcontroller [/b]
[*] A [b] Gyro [/b] block (I designed this controller to fit perfectly on top of a Gyro, but it doesn't need to go there)
[*] A [b] Tilt Sensor [/b] facing [u] UPWARDS. [/u]
[/list]
Once you've placed them down, connect the control data outputs from your pilot seat to the gyro.
Personally I prefer [W/S] to Pitch, [A/D] to Roll, [LEFT/RIGHT] to Yaw, and [UP/DOWN] to Collective.
Once you have the Gyro connected to the pilot seat, then connect the stabilized values to the controller. Don't worry, I've labelled each connector on the controller so you know where to plug them in. Also, don't forget to connect the tilt sensor.
Once everything is plugged in, then connect the labelled output pins to their respective slots on the rotors of your vehicle.
HELP! My vehicle...
Won't stop wobbling!
Check if you plugged in the tilt sensor, and that either the "PID is activated automatically?" property is set to "yes", OR the activating block is actually working. If it still is wobbling, your vehicle has a big problem, or the PID settings aren't good. for the latter, go into the properties of the controller and tweak the PID settings. If PIDs confuse you, the top comment in [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Stormworks/comments/163gr4a/can_someone_please_explain_how_a_pid_works_and/] this reddit post [/url] explains them pretty well.
flies in the opposite direction that I tell it to!
Sounds like your rotors aren't in the right orientation. The arrows that point forward should be positive, and the rear pointing ones negative. the Right pointing ones should be positive on the left rotor, and negative for the right. The opposite applies for the left pointing arrow.
