Lurkily Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 What about an altimeter? I'd like a sensor that reads your altitude and activates a keypress if your altitude is below a certain value. Like dynamic thrusters, you should be able to lower or raise that value with a keypress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamShark Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Does this count? https://imgur.com/gallery/Pu6XP (Sorry having too much fun with the record feature today heh heh) An adjustable length distance sensor would be pretty cool! I assume it would work the same as what you're inquiring about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkily Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Functional, but not adjustable, and definitely too short at max range, and dependent on terrain. I'm looking for 'distance from the center of gravity.' My plan is to have a very high-speed orbiter that adjusts its forward speed to maintain an orbit, instead of upward thrust. Increase desired altitude if you detect land below, and decrease it very slowly over time. It's not currently possible since the feedback just doesn't exist.

fingin Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 ya I can agree trying to build an orbiter is hard without a proper altitude sensor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
