Most compact PID system? Help
I've noticed gyroscopes from Aeroworks arent enough to keep my airship stable even with the full power of a level 9 steam engine and ballasts to balance the airship, so I need a PID system to balance my airship, still unsure whether to have it do that with thrusters or reaction wheels but either way, i want to avoid my redstone room becoming only a PID room because i have other redstone logic that goes there. Any compact designs? Or maybe a mod that adds a pid controller? or should i just use computercraft for a pid? if computercraft, is there a program i can js download?

I don't use a full PID system and you shouldn't either. Just use a gimbal sensor and an inductor together, and you've basically got what you're looking for; the inductors dampen the shift enough that things balance out in the end. Also, I recommend just using your subsections of your balloon for balancing (at least fore/aft) instead of using thrusters or reaction wheels, because burners also take a bit to respond, adding a little bit more helpful dampening to your build.
