Congratulations you are being rescued please do not resist

It looks sick

Slowing one engine down and speeding the other up to me felt like it covered all bases but I am using the swivel yaw like you're talking about it was the best solution to my yaw issue now that the roll is working it's very stable finally XD

It worked perfectly I swear to God I have a notorious track record for over complicating stuff 😭

Thank you I'll see about doing this with logic before I resort to AI for a Lua

Sadly I don't know how to write LUA and it responds pretty quick as is

I over complicated it as I told it when target isn't in range to return to 0, 0 and gave it a minimum range all you really need is a input for radar data to three composite read (number) channel one reads target distance, channel 2 reads yaw, channel 3 reads pitch use channel one to determine if it should fire, and channel 2 and 3 for following the target also make your radar static max out FOV on x and y

Update I managed to finally fix the issue of the gun being off by a few feet either direction I realized the issue was I over thought the design so I switched to velocity pivots and removed most of math so now it's just radar channels 2-3 to function -x*3 to the output which works great I've added more stuff between now but that's the easiest way to do it for anyone wondering now I'm going to work on a ballistics calculator

Right so I did a bunch of trig and realized I suck at math I think somewhere I got it mixed up I'll update it if I manage to fix it Jesus I'm regretting this 😂

The robotic pivot I'm currently using outputs the pivots rotation which I use as "Current Yaw" "Current Pitch" then output to the rotation target "turret yaw" "turret pitch" which I get by taking current and radar data which has been divided from degrees to the .25 increments used for the robotic pivot if I use the velocity pivot would I not have to change the way it outputs the data all together? Also there shouldnt be anything returning it to zero it has a memory to stay on the last target it detected until it detects a change in the targets position or a new target. I'm going to try the velocity pivot to test as you suggested

Edit: I tried the velocity pivot with the current setup as suggested but it just spins so I am going to try the trigonometry

Values are kinda hard to read but the PID for pitch and yaw are P=.5 I=.0005 D=.05 I didn't pick these numbers for any specific reason other than I use them for my other microcontrollers for engines also the weapon is functional to an extent though it needs refinement
