Robotic Pivot help

[KossanSimon]

Im building a outboarded boat. The proppeler steers with help of a pivot. But when the pivot is pushed to the right the whole boat starts to rotate and doing weird stuff. How can i set a limit on the pivot? (sry for bad
explanation)

You could try adding a clamp and adjusting the settings. That would limit how far it can pivot.

Could you explain in more detail, please?

Basically, if you want your pivot to to have a rotation limit of 25 degrees to the left and right, add a clamp logic gate, set the min and max to -25 and 25 on the clamp, and then run your steering logic through the clamp and then to the pivot.

Robotic pivots have 90 degrees each direction with -1 to 1 input. So, *Basically*, your guide is a *censored*. If you want a 25 degree you need to clamp your input to -0.278 to 0.278, and thats will kill all your input beyond those values.
Best way to reduce steering angles with saving all input range for a 25 degrees will be an easy function (x*0.278). For any angle you need you can calculate as x*(*needed angle*/90)
Also you can change pivot gear ratio to add them stability.

Clamp is in my opinion a bad idea, because anything above the clamped values is ignored so you have a giant gap in your steering that does nothing.
An easier method is to use one single function block and just divide by 4. You can then adjust the steering to be ~4 times more sensitive to compensate if you feel that the steering is slow.

yeah more a map than a clamp
