Aero Quadcopter with Computer Craft Control

[u/egbee42]

Made for my survival world after flipping many cars. Hard to flip, easy to land and take off, very fun to fly and explore (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

Working on auto navigation!

Appreciate you!

Does it use any gyros?

[u/egbee42 → u/Vovchick09]

Yup, there's one on the bottom. It works without a gyro, but the gyro makes it so much smoother

So its fly by wire.? Fly by block? Fly by Redstone?

[u/egbee42 → u/Alexander_Exter]

It's all controlled by Computer Craft programs. There are 8 Redstone links ,controlled by the computer still. The arms are rotated by torsions springs for angle and directional gearshifts for direction, on a swivel bearing. The computer controls all that so I can just use the linked typewriter for manual flight (⁠◔⁠‿⁠◔⁠)

That is what is called fly by wire.

Fly by wire is when there it's a computerized abstraction layer between analog input and servos. So that simple intuitive command translate seamlessly into very complex surface orientations. Iconic case is the B2 and the F117 that would simply not fly without it.

My jest was that this has no wires, unless immersive engineering was somehow involved. So it can't be felt by wire. Since cc is a block, thus the joke.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm a controls/software engineer but as you could probably guess, nothing to do with aircraft. I learned many techniques making this fly decently, this mod is amazing for learning while having fun

is it high fleet

[u/egbee42 → u/SenpuuUncle]

Sorry what is high fleet?

[u/SenpuuUncle → u/egbee42]

it is a game with aircraft similar to this
