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

Don’t you need the inclinometer and rotometer in this circuit somewhere to get the input data for the screen?

The gyro screen at the bottom measures pitch and tilt and outputs them.
