Description
Description
This is a simple easy to use Roll stabilizer module for almost any aircraft you have. It works using a PID controller so if you want to make adjustments you can easily go in and make tweaks to the logic. Like a standard roll stabilizer it has an input and output for aileron controls, an activation switch, and an input for a tilt sensor. But i also added an output that will execute a short pulse when it is disengaged to alert the user that the system has been disengaged. This is to make it easier if you are using it with other autopilot systems that also have a disengagement alarm. Finally it also has an output signal telling you if the system is activated.

Usage Tips
This system works best for small to medium aircraft, with the default parameters that i had set on the PID. However if you re tune it it will work for really any size of aircraft. I suggest not to use it if you have a lot of control surfaces or on very small and/or lightweight aircraft.

Fair Use
Well it's not like anyone can copyright logic systems and I don't really see how i can stop re uploading on microprocessors, so feel free to use this on whatever, or upload it onto the workshop. But I would appreciate if you linked this in the description and leave like and favourite.
Thanks, enjoy.

IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKE SURE you connect the on switch to a PUSH BUTTON only, otherwise it's not going to work correctly!

thanks, i'll try that!

@birb are your control surfaces working without the logic routed via the microcontroller? First ensure that you can control the plane without the microcontroller connected. If that didn't diagnose the issue, make sure your tilt sensor is connected right. Tilt sensor should be facing left to right. If that wasn't the problem either, then there is most likely a game glitch causing this or some other componant of your aircraft incorrectly set up. If you can provide more details then that would help me understand the problem better. I also highly suggest you try my Dynamic Roll stabilized (linked on description) as it functions more realistically and isn't so outdated as this one. You might get better luck try that out. Good luck

fix*

it doesn't seem to be working, i have it connected to all mandatory circuits and use a push button, but the plane still doesn't correct itself

how do i fit that?

@Ghost of Mildred Monday*sorry for late response* I don't know of any systems like that specifically, but depending on what you're using it for, you could probably mount a tilt sensor forward and use this same system to stabilize pitch for a VTOL. It should work similarly as long as you are using the same control output (i.e. control surfaces such as flaps).

Know any good pitch stabilizer that works like this too? Most 'autopilot' systems I'm finding need yaw/roll ect. input but I'm using a semi-complex VTOL that's already controlling those systems. This MC is great because it just controls your flaps, which is really all you need for a stability system

great

just need weight blocks
Enaxity May 20, 2020 @ 8:36am 
but your stabilizer worked very well

its still doing flips and rolls
