This seems to be limiting the RPS of my engine. What part would be limiting it? I know Im replying so late to this, lmao

Also working on a 4 gear version, that will be slightly smaller.

Working on temp threshold improvement next. Also trying to figure out a way to make the config dynamic and not needed to be configured.

If anyone has any ideas on improvements or cool features, please post them here.

happy to hear it!

work wonderfully
OmniBeast  [author] Jan 3, 2021 @ 7:41pm 
Done! V4 now uploaded. It includes an optional Reverse Toggle.
OmniBeast  [author] Jan 3, 2021 @ 7:29pm 
I'll get it uploaded asap. Give me a bit to double check everything.
MikeHuynh Jan 2, 2021 @ 1:35pm 
When will the v4 going to be available ?
OmniBeast  [author] Nov 18, 2020 @ 3:56pm 
I got v4 working, i plan to upload soon. If someone wants it before I upload, please reply here.

Working on v4 that has an optional Button input for Reverse instead of relying on a negative (-) throttle input.

Glad everything is working well now Accelerate, let me know if you need anymore help.

Yes it's connected, also, if it's not much trouble I'd appreciate the help, I'm kinda new so I may be missing something, had a trouble with another microcontroller for cars, I just ended up doing everything from scratch and it worked.
OmniBeast  [author] Aug 26, 2020 @ 3:37pm 
Also, if it'd help. I can invite you to my discord later to screenshare.

I'm assuming so, but I want to start simple. Is the first gearbox (reverse) connected to the Reverse Transmission Output on the controller?
SONNENKVLT Aug 26, 2020 @ 2:48pm 
Hello, I'm trying to use this in one of my boats, but I can't get the reverse gear to work.

I've got it connected to a throttle with minimum value at -1 (I tried using the seat too).

Forward gear shifting works fine.

I have 4 gearboxes pointing towards the engine. 1st gearbox: 1:1/1:-1 x 2nd gearbox 1:1/2:1 x 3rd gearbox 1:1/3:1 and 4th gearbox 1:1/5:2
OmniBeast  [author] Jun 14, 2020 @ 11:44pm 
you may also need to add a second gearbox for reverse. First one with 1:-1 and second one like 1:2 or 1:3. Reverse at 1:-1 can be hard on it.
OmniBeast  [author] Jun 14, 2020 @ 11:42pm 
Try increasing the clutch setting by 0.5 and then by 1 to see if that helps. if still not working, let me know and I can help via Discord.

Edit: Apperently my gearboxes were the wrong way, so my boat obviously went not fast at all... but now when I try to reverse the engine dies... after I start it again it will reverse but when I try to go forward again it dies again. Sorry, im sure your creation works really well, I just cant figure it out...
z3no2 Jun 14, 2020 @ 11:10am 
Hey, first off all, thx for putting this much effort into this!
I still cant get the gears and reverse to work. the indicator shows the switched gears but the boat still goes the same speed or doesn´t switch into reverse. Is that because the previous gearbox always disengages? (I have normal propellors) Do I have to have all gearboxes paralel or can I have them in one row (thats what I currently have).

What are you transmission property settings?
legobrammetje May 17, 2020 @ 1:46pm 
throttle on my medium engine keeps bouncing between 0,5 and 0,1, while min thottle has been set to 0,1
legobrammetje May 17, 2020 @ 1:44pm 
My vehicle needed a final drive, it did 165 km/h in first gear
OmniBeast  [author] Apr 28, 2020 @ 11:37am 
I have a very small youtube channel if anyone would like a tutorial on how to setup this gearbox. Just let me know by responding here.
OmniBeast  [author] Apr 14, 2020 @ 11:05am 
If anyone has any questions on how to get it working, or any feedback, please post it here. I check regularly.

ok cool!
OmniBeast  [author] Mar 25, 2020 @ 9:12pm 
Update! You will need to replace existing placements. I forgot that long ago i set it to engage 1st and Reverse together in an attempt to help large ships with low ratio reverse. I have now removed that. You can still accomplish this by using 2 gearboxes for reverse. Also, no more reverse toggle button, you can now use (-) throttle to engage reverse, or W/S input!

yeah i did i just didnt know if it was possible but thanks for letting me know.
OmniBeast  [author] Mar 17, 2020 @ 6:09pm 
Oxferd_Gaming, I deleted your comment on accident. I believe you asked if you had to use 7 gears. I just wanted to add that if you refer to the pic above you will see an entry for Total Forward Gears. That can be 1 to 7.
(OTR) 0xferd™ Mar 17, 2020 @ 6:40am 
ok thats good to know :steamhappy:
OmniBeast  [author] Mar 17, 2020 @ 1:11am 
Yes
OmniBeast  [author] Mar 14, 2020 @ 4:51pm 
I have a discord channel if anyone needs help getting it configured.
OmniBeast  [author] Mar 14, 2020 @ 4:50pm 
If anyone has any ideas on how to improve it, or make it more universal, please let me know. I was going to try to have it determine shift points based on torque, like as torque drops below a certain threshold, then shift, but I found it the torque meter is more static than dynamic so that wouldn't work.

np
OmniBeast  [author] Mar 14, 2020 @ 4:41pm 
Thanks Oxferd. It took quite a while to get it stable, but I use it all the time now!
(OTR) 0xferd™ Mar 14, 2020 @ 11:36am 
man thats some amazing work on this microcontroller i was looking over the logic in the microcontroller and jeez thats alot of logic put into that microntroller great job on it!
OmniBeast  [author] Mar 12, 2020 @ 3:40pm 
I sent you a friend invite. I'll message you the discord.
Pucker Mar 12, 2020 @ 2:13pm 
are you on the discord? im trying to set this up with a small engine and 7 forward speeds but even when i rev the engine up (using w and s) it doesnt move
OmniBeast  [author] Mar 12, 2020 @ 8:26am 
Thanks Marsh! I appreciate that. It was much more complicated than I anticipated when I started. I have a few ideas to make it even better, so keep an eye out for improvements.
MarshOfMello Mar 11, 2020 @ 5:26pm 
Works Really Good Great Work!
OmniBeast  [author] Mar 5, 2020 @ 1:46pm 
Please, any feedback would be much appreciated. Or any questions. I will check as often as i can.
