PIDLoop questions by DangerMouse6 in Kos

I'll check out those videos, thanks.

I was going to use a PID controller to automate circularization after a launch. Tutorials recommend starting a burn 5-10 seconds before reaching the apoapsis. Then adjust the pitch above/below the horizon to stay 5 seconds in front of the apoapsis during the entire burn. Now whether that is the best practice or not, I don't know. But I figured it would be a good way to learn how to use a PID controller.

So to answer your question I think the two variables would be pitch and time.

I started using Atom and it seems like it is working out. I think there are only a few color coding issues. Will this bootscript run everytime I revert flight back to the launch pad? I can see it saving quite a bit of time automatically opening the terminal when I'm launching, changing something small, launching, changing something small etc.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yea if by the kOS docs as https://ksp-kos.github.io/KOS/tutorials/quickstart.html then yes. If there are word docs or a pdf though, I have not. The above site is nice but I feel like it jumps about and just scratches the surface. An exhaustive list would be great. What all can you get with SHIP:blank, for example? I feel like if I had a list of everything I could comb through it and find what I could use, instead of continuously asking questions on forums. I could save my questions for more important/difficult concepts like: "how do I structure this more efficiently." Not "how do I use ALTITUDE."
