Targeting Pod (TGP)

Description
Please refer to https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917035361 if confused

Can be put onto any aircraft, only needs a 2x2 screen and a keypad

- Connect battery to your vehicle's electrics
- Connect a keypad to the X and Y designation nodes (main microcontroller)
- Connect a 3x3 screen to processed video output node (bottom microcontroller)
- Connect 3x3 screen composite output to touchscreen composite node (bottom microcontroller)

Optional:
- Connect a standard throttle to the desired Zoom node (main microcontroller)
- Connect below listed composite channels to the Up/Down/Left/Right node (main microcontroller)
- Switch to Analog mode (main microcontroller)

COMPOSITE CONTROL CHANNELS:
11, 12, 13, 14 = Up, Down, Left, Right push button/arrows respectively
15 = turn laser on (toggle)
16 = get target height via laser (toggle)
17 = turn TGP on (toggle)
18 = apply GPS coordinates (push)

Current features:
- Accurate track of any X,Y coordinates
- Inputting known coordinates or using the arrows to designate a new location.
- Stabilised in pitch, yaw, and roll
- Finding target height via laser and scanning along the same height
- Upright video feed when looking forward

Not features:
- Slight target coordinate errors may occur due to the GPS being further back than the camera. Will fix someday
- View may slip a little when quickly changing attitude due to the rotors needing time to react. Coordinates will remain unchanged though
- Rolling at high pitch angles can induce a lot of error. Will try to fix, but until then try to stay level if possible.

better now

Yes you can. Just connect the above mentioned composite channels, a large keypad, electricity, and a screen and it should work.
I was going to say that you might not get an upright video feed due to space and LUA limitations, although I got motivated and fixed that. Will update it asap.

Yeah but like,

Can I put this on a jet?
