Description
Based on my original gps autopilot, except this one is a bit more userfriendly and has some new features.


### Configuration ###

After placing the chip you can adjust it to the specific needs of your vehicle by clicking it with the select tool.

1. Steering multiplier
how strong the steering reacts to course deviations

2. Min throttle for steering
Minimum percentage of the maximum throttle to use for steering.
Turn this to 0 if you have yaw-thrusters for example. Increase it if your steering requires throttle to work, e.g. rudders

3. Target distance threshold
How close the autopilot tries to get to the target location

4. Acceleration time
How long the autopilot takes to increase the throttle to maximum

5. Deceleration time
How long the autopilot takes to slow down again (don't worry, it does so early enough)

6. Throttle limit
Decrease this if you don't want the autopilot to use full throttle.



### NODES ###

required Input:
- x/y GPS Position
- x/y Target Position
- Compass input

control output:
- steering (yaw)
- throttle (forward)

information output:
- Bearing (0-360)
- Distance (m)
- ETA (s)
- Ready (on/off) when reaching target


If also has a raw data composite output that you can use to hook up your own systems, the channels are as follows:

10 - Current Position X
11 - Current Position Y
12 - Target Position X
13 - Target Position Y
14 - Compass value

20 - Steering output
21 - Throttle output
22 - Bearing
23 - Distance
24 - ETA

27 - throttle limit
28 - steering multiplier
29 - min steering throttel
30 - target distance threshold
31 - acceleration time
32 - deceleration time

Again, thanks to MrNJersey there is a full on yt-tutorial on how to use this thing. Check it out!

does it work with robotic pivots? (pointing towards the destination)
Newbie 14 Feb @ 3:51pm 
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
