I have made a third ship now, This is my go to for autopilot systems now. https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3502150669

it does

doesn't work

Nice to see it is still of some use. :)

Works well. This helps because im new to stormworks and this allows me to try to build other systems. My 2nd ship-wip: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3488454954
(I gave Credit In Description)

can it be used for missiles

can i use this on my creations if i link it?

That is one big composite write block

Well, the logic hasn't changed...
Sure some new things have been added but the old stuff is still the same.

what i find weird is that soem old creations dont work but this micro controller still works

probably because a lot of ppl have asked if it can be used for helicopters

Why is this tagged so i get shown this with helicopter search?

no way to turn it off/on?

does it work with helis?

yes you can use it with credit

Hi Can I Use this please in a creation im uploading? with Credit of course

does it work with robotic pivots? (pointing towards the destination)

is there any way i can have the motor reverse too? I'm using this for a train

What unit is the ETA in? It says seconds but it doesn't make sense, dividing it by 60 gives a weird number which is way too big, in the thousands for short distances. Is it some kind of in game time?

depends on your plane

does it work with planes?

just a little problem when i start the AP my ship just starts barrel rolling

how do i get this to not give a signal from the ready output when i have nothing in the keypad

Developing this in to a unit to match my custom ECU for tandem twin rotor helicopters :)

how do i steer with my helm if the autopilot steering takes up the rudder input spot?

My guy, I'm an idiot.
I forgot to connect the GPS and Compass to electricity. :D

It works fine with sticky rudders. :D

you could simply multiply the steering output with whatever rotational speed you're looking for

or use a pid if you're comfortable with them

@Tajin; My question is how would I go about making this work for a ship with sticky rudders, rather than reset type.

The logic is very quick to make the initial steering input but returning it to 0 rudder takes ridiculously long so you keep turning in circles.

@Sgt. Max Cockburn And if you find that your rudder directions are suddenly reversed, use an inverter between "switched value" and your rudder inputs.

@Sgt. Max Cockburn, you use a numerical switchbox.

Connect the autopilot steering to "ON" input
Connect your manual steering to "OFF" input.
Connect the "Switch Signal On/Off" to a toggle button (make sure it is energized).
Connect the "Switched Value" output to your rudders.

This way you will have manual steering by default and will switch rudder control to the autopilot when you press the button.

it is so cool thanks

this is a really nice and simple autopilot which i really like i going to be using this on my boats from now on.

Not sure how to use the steering output... Can't feed it to anything useful but a rudder, but they already have the steering funtion attached. How do I get aound that?

I ran into a strange issue where the rudder / control surface flaps back and forth. I've tried everything but I can't seem to figure out whats causing it. I'm getting the waypoint from the map table if that has anything to do with it.

Im working on adding this to a vtol aircraft, and when it gets close it tends to back up some specific distance and try again if it overshoots, anyone know which settings would tweak that?

To turn it on watch the tutorial

How do i turn it on/off?

Are we allowed to post creations using this if we credit the creation?

any idea why the map NJ incorporated this autopilot into doesn't seem to work whatever I do?

How do you make it so i stops at the waypoint?


Thank you so much for it

Found an odd behaviour with the autopilot. The throttle output seems to decrease whenever it makes a large turn, kinda problematic in an aircraft! Setting minimum throttle for steering doesn't change the behaviour.

I have bound the throttle limit to my aircrafts throttle so it can't exceed whatever I have the throttle set to. Could this be causing the problem?

Would it work for an Airplane?

Can this work with helicopters?

Please accept my request Tajin as im wanting to discuss about integrating your work into mine with credit due

@XxRAVENHEARTxX use a numerical inverter

so how do swap the steering around cause i have a creation that im working on and it has inverted rudders so it turns with fluid jets

can i still use it or are there better/newer ons?

Can it get a simple 'hold course' feature? :)

verry happy with this Thank you!

If i give you credit can i use it for vehicles that i have on the workshop
