Constantly distracted by your amazing workshop. Leaving the accidental paint stains on the floor is a nice touch, makes the place feel more authentic.

[@RockBoyy1]

Too bad you don't have all of those objects in survival :(, you have to find some of them

[@valzzu]

actually, you can paint the bearings even if you have pipes on it. :)

[@Andy_ngy]

But it‘s more complicated, especially when you‘re in survival it might get expensive

[@valzzu]

@@Andy_ngythat's true

[@theworsesmashy]

If you mean what i think you mean then i found if i spawn in a creation then you cant.

[@drdesten]

Sometimes it doesn't work. I have some creations where it's impossible

[@googe2935]

yes you can but with builds like this it’s really difficult to aim at the bearing’s actual hitbox

[@3-valdiondreemur564]

So, if anyone sees this - if possible ProfNCognito - I'd like to know if the gyro can be made more precise, without making it too much bigger. In my testings, I couldn't get the sensors to activate until the gyro reached a seventeen degrees inclination, so I cannot use it for what I intended for, a small two thruster, glitchless flyer. I did some experimenting, and found something... Interesting? Simply replacing the wheels by tier 3 concrete blocks and leaving the sensors to zero degrees actually seems to not only make the gyro more precise, it's range going from five degrees to twenty before "glitching" and loosing in precision. However, the way the sensors activate is very weird. Since the concrete blcok spins, really fast, the sensors actually go out in pulses that goes faster and faster the steepest the angle of the gyro is, reaching 100% uptime at twelve degrees. I think this might actually be a incredibly useful feature, as it provides somewhat of a gradual step up of the alignement for thrusters and such. More testing is required, to know how intensive use will affect the relialibilty. Upon more extensive testing, with a max speed controller and fairly random angles, it seems to be fairly reliable. I will update this comment when I will have tested this on a thruster platoform. After a few more minutes, I realized that giving the sensors an outward angle of five degrees actually seems to benefit the contraption, giving it a few more degrees of precision, from five to twenty-four, before it looses precision.

[@ProfNCognito]

Wow nice testing. 👏

@@ProfNCognito damn, I didn't expect you to answer this so fast lol. Also, do you mind if I do a video after the finished flying bike when it's finished? I'll definitely put this video in the description and say how I based off my design from yours. You deserve a lot more subscribers, and even if I have less than twenty, I really want to do that regardless - any subscribers I can earn you will be worth it, you're an awesome builder. Also, I didn't plan to use this account for for writing this message but I guess it makes more sense as it is my gaming channel (which is also the pnly one I upload on) so yeah. Also, I plan to use that flyer in survival mode, so it's why I'm only using two thrusters and not more. I just thought about the fact I could use the ramp-up effect of a sensor picking up a spinning block that is incline by a controller on loop linked to a seat for a completely gradual - but very slow reacting - thrust control.

[@ProfNCognito]

@@3-valdiongaming783 sounds good. Can't wait to check it out.

[@3-valdiongaming783]

@@ProfNCognito I'll probably start the work on it after I'm finished recording an episode or two of Below Zero. Also, the wheels are a key part to the contraption - it makes the gyro keep it's orientation way better - but since they are less precise than the two concret blocks, I just added them both ontop of them and you know what? It works even better now.

Nice. thx alot I needed this for a huge build.

Awesome glad it helped.

Sensors go to your pitch and roll thrusters.

Thanks!

[@BrianJ1962]

Are wheels sufficiently heavy to provide enough torque to stabilise a flying machine, or would it be more effective to use 4 heavy blocks on a cross piece? And is there any way in vanilla to set up a spud gun to be mouse operated? Reason I ask, is that I want to design a helicopter gunship for two people - one flying, the other operating the gun and, ideally, I'd want the gun to be aimed using a mouse (wsad being less intuitive for my young grandson)... Alternatively, is it possible to have mouse control over pitch and yaw in the flight controls in case he wants to fly?

[@ProfNCognito]

Not without mods I believe. Will look more into it though. I would love the same thing.

[@BrianJ1962]

@@ProfNCognito I look forward to the results of your experimentation - success or failure - presuming, of course you post the video.

i tried to build a flying machine with dis, but it didnt work, there are much better gyros for that

[@frogeater8637]

whats the setup i need to keep my all-terrain vehicle like it can be sky ground and I think there is water in the game

Do you know how to make a rotating ball joint? I'm trying to make a hand for a survival mech I plan to make.

[@ProfNCognito]

It's been a while since I've played. Waiting for the new update before I jump back to it.

[@skullbeast829]

I'm also trying tou use your gyroscope to make my balance my hovercraft out but I don't know which of the sensors I'm supposed to hook up to which thruster. There are 4 thruster pads and 4 thrusters on each. @@ProfNCognito

[@pipec5170]

thanks for the tutorial but, could you explain rlly quick how to use this? im new and also really confused with this game

[@ProfNCognito]

It helps flyers stay upright automatically when connected to thrusters.

[@sylvester4207]

You hook the sensors up to some thrusters and if the thrusters are placed correctly your aircraft will stay upright

[@sghsdhdkfh]

You can make cars

[@chokyrie3766]

Question, would this Gyro work replacing the power source from an electric engine with a controller?

[@mr.t6440]

Cho Kyrie I think it has to spin faster. You can try in creative if you want

[@jenshub]

It is possible but the faster your wheels spin the better. More weight for the spinners will also increase movement accuracy

[@bed1am793]

Стабилизатор работает только в 2 осях и при больших градусах наклона может не срабатывать

[@potatoismylife465]

But for the forwards and backwards sensors the pipe doesn't tilt but only thewheels, so how can it detect it? I say that because it doesn't on my construction :(

[@ProfNCognito]

The wheels are picked up by the sensor not the pipes in that direction .

[@zhaodavid310]

I was using 0.6.5 version of scrap mechanic

[@adrii204]

Does it needs to be exactly as it is or can I weld it upside down?

[@ProfNCognito]

Upside down should work.

[@teomandemir8918]

Does this work with electric engine? Isn't it too slow?

[@ProfNCognito]

it uses an electric engine.

[@Blooff]

How does the electric engine contribute to the gyro?

[@ProfNCognito]

It spins the wheel giving the gyro effect

[@Blooff]

@@ProfNCognito I've tried without spinning the wheel and I can't seem to find a difference.

[@xsorrgaming2351]

@@Blooff the difference is pure effects i think. The spinning wheels give a gyro effect. A gyro spins. so the wheel spinning is just for effects and isnt necessary

[@versenova5531]

@@xsorrgaming2351 the wheel spinning provides a gyroscopic force. When the wheels spin I believe it is more stable because it provides a centrifugal force which makes it so that when the whole bae tilts the centrifugal force re aligns everything that was put out of place from the tilt, thus making it more effective.

[@boredpancake418]

The sensors supposed to detect back/forward leaning do not sense anything. Who would they? The bar that they are supposed to detect doesn't move up and down...?

[@versenova5531]

i think they detect the wheels moving side to side, idk

@@boredpancake418 there are other sensors for it detecting leaning forward, one set of bearings is side to side, the other is forward and backward.

@@versenova5531 are you even reading my messages? The sensors are there, yes, but the bar isn't on bearings so it can't move up and down. This means the sensors detecting forward and backward leaning can't detect anything and are therefore useless.

yes

[@boredpancake418]

Spinning wheels want to stay upright according to the laws of physics. Don't ask me why that is though, because I have no idea.

[@thepcgamer5151]

Does the engine have to be electric?

[@ProfNCognito]

Probably, but I think I remeber doing it this way because the electric engine has more torque on it and is more consitant.
