Horizontal Stabilizer

This microcontroller keeps your turret pointed in the same direction and is simple to set up.


First off your turret traverse should be done via a velocity pivot, facing with the positive arrow clockwise, this way it can turn 360 degrees freely and also very rapidly so, the prefered ratio with this stabilizer is 1:2 with 100% power after tuning, as i have found this ratio to provide a decent turn rate combined with precision.

Now for the MC to be able to detect what the turret is doing an angular velocity sensor is needed, place this on the turret (so when the pivot turns the sensor will turn too) with the positive arrow (again) clockwise.

Then simply connect all the connections, so your control input from the gunners seat to the A/D input, the sensor to the sensors input and the pivot to the output of the controller. Incase you want to turn the stabilizer off for moving or if you arent in the turret, then you can turn it off via the On/Off input to the MC.

If you want a slower turret traverse or maybe even quicker, then make sure to change the property slider, it goes from 0.1 to 3 (1 is the standard, but if you want a really slow and precise or super quick you can just change this)


Checklist for the stabilizer to work properly:

-- Angular speed sensor (with positive arrow clockwise)
-- Velocity pivot (With 1:2 ratio on it and positive arrow clockwise)
-- Seat to control turret

Notes:

Feel free to use this in your creations just remember to link this incase you upload it

This is only a horizontal stabilizer(!)
