[2x3] Configurable jet engine controller

This MC allows you to control your jet engine with a simple 0-1 input without risk of blowing it up.
It can be used either with a compressor or an electric starter motor hooked up to the turbine.

Make sure you connect all required inputs for the controller !



### Configuration ###

After placing the chip you can adjust the following settings by clicking it with the select tool:

1."max RPS"
This is how fast the engine will try to spin at a throttle input of 1.

2."Electric motor usage"
a) Just for starting – the motor (if you have one) will just be used to spin up the engine until it can power itself
b) starting and improved responsiveness – the motor will help the engine to reach the desired RPS

3."Allow motor to boost thrust output"
Enabling this will cause the motor to artificially slow down the jet engine RPS, so the throttle can be higher. This is mainly useful if you use the jet engine only to generate thrust, since thrust relies on throttle and not on RPS.
> Keep in mind that this setting will draw quite a bit of electricity so i would recommend pairing the starter motor with a generator.

### NODES ###

required input:
- Throttle input (0-1)
- current RPS (best measured at the intake)

optional input:
- Exhaust pressure (not really used currently but it will be shown as a tooltip)

required output:
- JCC throttle (connect to your Jet Combustion Chamber)
- Starter (turbine)
- Starter (motor)


### Update ###
Due to recent changes in how jet engines work I've readjusted the PID and removed the electric motor controller from the chip. Instead theres now a raw-data-output (with a configurable channel offset) that you can use for whatever purpose.
#1 Throttle
#2 Target RPS
#3 Current RPS
#4 Exhaust pressure
