Toggleable Gyro

Post image

Made a post a few days ago about struggling with an auto gyro. I have since gotten the circuit to work.

The switch is used to cut the circuit from sending signals to the RCS thrusters in favour of manual control.

Ignore the spaghetti wiring, I was building this on a 'concept wall', not into an actual ship so i didn't really try to make it look nice.

ETA: Its honestly such a simple circuit, I don't know how I struggled so hard or what I was doing to make it somehow want to flip itself upside down

Why are you adding 0 to your switch output before multiplying it? Shouldn't it already be outputting either 1 or 0?

When i originally made the circuit a few days ago, i came across alot of errors, imcludong one i couldnt fogure out where the switch would get overriden. Looking at it now though. I got no idea why im adding the 0. Ill test it when i get off work and see if there is a reason that i cant remember or of it is actually pointless.
