I got an idea for a new microcontroller based on this tutorial. With the GPS position of other targets now availalbe, you could make a TCAS Microcontroller (Traffic Collision Avoidance System). By calculating the closest point of approach (CPA), determining if it is within a protected airspace around your vehicle and time to CPA calculations, you would have a working TCAS. You could go further by actually using the different colors to display targets on the screen, depending on if they are other traffic, proximate traffic, possible threats or real threats. And calculating the relative altitude difference shouldnt be a problem, since you have your own altitude and the targets altitude. I guess it would be pretty cool to slap onto a 2x2 screen, since its basically a radar showing you all aircraft with their relative altitude + - your altitude + the feature to give you traffic warnings (or even resolution advisories, if you have like a lot of time to figure that out?)

Very nice video! might i suggest an XML tutorial next? it seems like a rather important part of advanced Stormworks, and i feel as though many new players are struggling with XML editing.

From what i have tested, this radar setup works for airplanes. Only thing to do is to stabilize the roll by using a pivot and tilt sensor. By doing that the avarage deviation between the calculated radar value and the actual coordnates is between 5 - 25 meters. Tracking other planes and guiding something like a aim120 is in deed possible. Thanks for the showcase/tutorial

Be awesome if you included a lead calculator with it

This is was so helpful for me. Thank you so much for the smart work!

Think the sensor arrays could definitely be compacted down into a single physics sensor. It’s been really handy since that things come out.

Hey, I'm trying to make an auto turret, and I'm wandering if there's a way to make a simple on/off output that changes depending on if a target is found?

This will not work for any elevation angle other then 0 due to the bad spherical to cartesian conversion, do this instead x = cos(azi)*cos(elev)*dist y = sin(azi)*cos(elev)*dist z = sin(elev)*dist

Really good tutorial! since you asked for feedback. Maybe try to explain more frequently why you are doing certain ways so people understand what to do instead of just following a step by step instruction. Dont get me wrong, you did something exactly like this a couple of times. I just like to see more of that :) I find dumming down something a bit really helps while doing tutorials. But thats me nitpicking honestly, like i said, you even did it a couple of times. And maybe for time sake you didnt do it more frequently, dunno. Tho if it were that last case id concider doing a 2 parter (potentially twice the watchtime and more time to really get in there :) ) Really enjoyed it, its clear a lot of prep went into this, I hope you'll do more of this!

Epic intro.

Very good video! Thank you.I understen hou it works.😊

Lol I was just making this by my own. But still thanks for the video. If I'll make some mistakes I'll watch it again

13:53 two velocity pivots, but it's a robotic one. And yes I made some mistakes and I came back)

Great video! The maths explanations were on point, I got all that but I’m a bit new to stormworks so I’m wondering how you would implement this as autopilot. For example how would you input the destination you want to get to, would it be from a radio or another gps somewhere else or what? Thanks again for the tutorial 🙏

Nice

Wouldn't you have to use the horizontal distance to the target to get the relative y and x? With youre code the target could be flying high and therefore give out Incorrect coordinates couse you are using the direct distance. Correct me if I'm wrong.

quite good job sessi, underrated, sadly

[ ^0.5 ]? And so it was permissible to do? Haha)))) I've always written [ c = math . sqrt (a^2 + b^2) ] and didn't even think it was possible to shorten it a bit. It's curious. TY))

this video was very helpful but for some reason it appears as though it no longer works

Can we make an autopilot / position holder just using GPS?

well I did everything you did radar works fine but Im having problem with Weapon/Laser controls It doesnt track the vehicle that radar tracks

15:04 do I connect the composite input directly to the radar on the corner? Because you never made it clear and I am so confused on where you link composites

this shit is fucking rocket science...

Is there a fix for the roll of a GPS turret ( the turret that is pointing at a GPS cord) I need one becasue i am trying to mount a turret on a ship. keep in mind that a stabilizer for the turret is not an option (too big)

what should I do if the radar seems to see the target but the turret is spinning from side to side trying to aim at it?

Is it just me or should the z coordinate be calculated with sin instead of tan?

how would i do this without rotating the radar

when i do it the turret doesnt want to move

Ngl, I'm very confused why we're using the tangent function to find Z. Isn't the distance to the target always going to be the hypotenuse, and thus it shouldn't factor into a tangent formula?

Does this work with a sweeping Radar? If not why not?

i tried to build one, and the radar-gps module worked, but i couldn't get a response for the gps-turret module. Any suggestions?

ill try this wheen im home, does this work with the radar on Clockwise?

I got a question could you please make a tutorial on how to make the gps missile microcontroller beacause i cant find any tutorial on how to make obe and i dont want do download either 😅😅

Is there any way to account for roll without the pivots?

Yeah but stabilization of radar is working only for ships. On planes this thing will be give poor data, because of fast rotation and peak angles. Why you dont give us code to correct convert radar to global coordinates based on 3 tilt sensors and compas or on phisics block?

1st

your mic is very quiet

Why when I look for stormworks tutorial I get frantic with his tutorials that require you to assemble then reassemble half way through the tutorial. KZfaq terrible recommendations!!

You have saved me so much pain 🫡
