Complete Guide to the KAL Controller in Kerbal Space Program! Part 1

[@Sammy197]

It really takes some talent to take a daunting concept and break it down into bite sized pieces instead of jumping straight into the complicated stuff. Thanks for these tutorials, they're great.

[@urban_venture]

Thanks for the kind words Sammy! Glad you're enjoying them!

[@MagicSpaceWizard]

Thank you so much for this. I've been avoiding using robotics for such a long time because I wasn't sure how it all worked. This is a game changer for me! Very good tutorial.

[@urban_venture]

Glad I could help!

[@jonirubik5374]

Yea absolutely I understood absolutely nothing before but now I cam finally use all my DLC parts ;)

[@TheBrunobrogueira]

Keep at it man, you got what it takes! Keep grinding

[@Urban_goose101]

Great vid! Love how you first explain in what situations you wouldn't need the controller and how to operate robotics in that scenario.

[@alex_itto]

That tutorial is awesome! I haven't used robotic parts because I found them confusing and hard to use. Thank you!

[@dennishubner7926]

I just paused the video only to write a little ❤️ for you. You are a gift from Keaven

[@alpacamybag9103]

Really handy vid, nice one. Now my dream of making a moon spider is a little bit closer to fruition. Onto part 2!

[@marks7502]

thanks

[@starshard0]

Great video! I look forward to the next one.

[@TheChoreia]

Dude, your tutorial is really awesome. 10\10!

[@IamXnc-]

Thank You man, I’ve been searching about how to use the Kal controller and how to make a simple landing leg system because the rocket boosters I would want to land couldn’t land because of the small landing gear that the game had as default, Really saved Me especially since Nobody really makes robotics tutorials that really makes sense 👌👌👌

[@rorypilley1897]

Brilliant tutorial, you need to make more KSP tutorials! You have a knack for it.

[@niconel2600]

Perfect KAL video 👏

[@betelrock2256]

Good morning Julia!!! Great vid, let's go full throttle!

[@FLY2KO]

Great tutorial, you said if you do animation you would be familiar with this, I would add that I'm a video editor for 25 years and have been using Maya 3D casually since like early 2000 something so this is also like working in an advanced video or audio editing program with a multi-layer time line, they call it robotics but its really an editor, I have yet to do the KAL-1000 as I'm still in my early stages of KSP learning but I'm looking forward to when I feel I need to start using this toy for more advanced kerbel fun, it will open up a whole new game play aspect for most folks.

[@urban_venture]

Ah that's awesome! I found my experience with keyframes from editing and VFX really helped! I'm sure it will for you too!!

[@ccarts2567]

This was an amazing tutorial for the basics. I have needed this for a while! Thanks very much!!!

[@lb2791]

This would have saved me soooooo much time! Still very interesting, I didn't know a lot of this even though I've been using (and cursing) KAL for a while now.

[@lukezoeller7517]

Thanks so much man, I finally know what this thing does!

[@maulikjain48]

great video dude keep grinding you will blow up one day

[@cgoodwin256]

This is great. Thanks for getting me to finally use this

[@lordroadius6195]

Thank you. That made sense. Great video.

[@Joshs4stro]

great tutorial

[@trevorjrooney]

Hi! This is a great tutorial series! I had no idea how to work KALs before and now I've got a working CH-47 replica that flys stable and level thanks to two KALs working the rotor angles and a hinge to angle the front motor. Funny enough though, these more complicated KALs didn't give me any trouble, but I'm having issues with an on/off set of KAL fields. I'd like to have 7 spotlights on the rear rotor mount that light up and turn off in sequence with the rotor angle as a way to indicate what the rotor pitch is. I've tried using 'toggle lights' and two fields per light for 'turn light on' and 'turn light off', I've done this as additional fields in the KAL that controls rotor angle, and as it's own KAL controller on the same group as the rotor angle KAL, the U/D translation group, and I also tried removing my Indicator lights from the main light control group but they still never light up at all. I can manually turn the lights on, and the Rotor Angle KAL still works fine. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Anyone have any ideas? Seems like it should be simpler than balancing flight controls for a helicopter, I must be missing something little.

[@rogue_luke6415]

Good vid great vid

[@dong-l4f]

Your video is very helpfully by me. Thank you for make video .

[@evgenyesin2797]

Great tutorial helped me a lot :)

[@MrJahabel]

Awesome tutorial

[@beaverbuoy3011]

THANK YOU

[@KiumarBy00]

Thank you bro you Save me❤

[@RonRPL]

Very good video. I think i'll buy these parts...

[@pegasusted2504]

Well explained and informative.

[@MrSneakyGunz]

Nice Job!

[@KerbalJoe]

Well that was definitely helpful for getting me started, thanks Urban Venture! Although I have one question - why did you decouple after the main SRB burn after 105 seconds and not 58 seconds? I'm just confused at that part, because I thought both SRBs fired at the same time.

[@rowbotia]

the first stage showed how long it was going to go until the side boosters fell because there was a stage after with the main SRB still there, so it splits the time across the 2 stages he added them together and bam that's your time

[@rowbot5555]

Pretty familiar with the mechanics but I don't use it much and a refresh is always welcome

[@lisaadkins6930]

thank you for your videos so helpfull

[@therealjamespickering]

I went through the whole video thinking you were using a cow controller!

[@jasimk9323]

How did you rocket pitch and changes it’s angle towards orbit all by its self, how did you do that because I really need to know please

[@Bpace777]

I can't figure this out either. He didn't even have SAS on before he toggled the nav ball. I think you just pitched it a little bit right off of the Launch pad and then toggled SAS.

[@EnglandFootball3lions]

can you please make a tutorial on how to land side boosters at the same time with the kal controller

[@orfredymelobeltran5237]

thanks!!!

[@KohniHart]

why did you cut out the part on how to gimbal using kal

[@urban_venture]

@@KohniHart Hey, I don’t believe anything has been removed from these tutorials if that’s what you’re asking? But part 2 should give you all the basics for how to control robotics, which you could then use to make a custom gimbal :)

[@DavidEdwards9801]

I love catching the auto-captioned mistakes, for some reason IA thinks you're talking about a "Cow Controller" =)

[@gesus44]

gOOD VIDEO

[@Alien_Bones]

The ''cow'' controller is tight...

[@fatmike5038]

Thanks so much for these vids

[@johnadler6987]

You also need the KAL controller for infinite fuel.

[@williamddougans]

If this is a complete guide but this is only one part of it then this video is not a complete guide 🤯

[@dunodisko2217]

I just use these to overclock engines

[@RubenRodriguez-ud5ie]

I use them to make my engines more powerful lol

[@ChristianMartin-qe2gf]

Why is your advice not working for (no kal needed)

[@mizar_copernicus138]

this is so stupid... why did they make it solely time driven.... shouldi measure every rockets timesheet i dont need this then

[@grimdemon78sp23]

The cow controllers are really not that terrifying sit down and play with it.... okay stop laughing.... but seriously. Anybody on Console looking at this don't get your hopes up it's not going to work the exact same unfortunately we are a few upgrades behind them and hopefully doubtful but hopefully will be all caught up and then the rest of this video will actually pertain to us console users
