Martin Lydon Hey random stranger, I do not know what you are going through, but I know what I went through. If you are similar to how I felt then you are probably really depressed, feel alone, and anxious, and maybe even going a little insane... and I am not here to tell you it is as simple as continuing living. It’s not. You probably need a big change in your life. New job, different classes, or whatever. My point is that you just need to be patient and work with what you have. For me, I changed programs in school from mechanical engineering into the automation field. All of a sudden I was doing stuff I couldn’t have imagined months before. It made me excited everyday to wake up and go to school, or now a days, work! The truth is that it’ll be a difficult road, but you stick to that road, and you may find an intersection full of options. Options that you will look at and say “It was all worth it. All the pain, the loneliness, the sadness, it was worth it.”. It made me see life in a new light. Like I had a purpose. I hope at the very least my message gives you hope, and it helps you understand that you aren’t alone in that feeling, and that there will be a silver lining. It took me two years and I still have days where I feel beaten. But I have more days where I feel like a king, where the world can’t stop me from being glad, and I hope you get to that point too. Because there truly is no better feeling than knowing you conquered your lowest point in life.

That is likely Trip Barber of NOVAAR#205. He is an MIT graduate, ex Naval ship commander, and has been doing rocketry and NARAMs for 50 years, Since NARAM-10. He has seen, experimented, and experienced presentations of most of the R&D papers and experiments submitted by NARAM R&D researchers regarding TVC and guidance of model rockets. His nodding is recognition of the process historically, so he is very well aware of the TVC projects before and since Joe's projects.

I've been tinkering with GNC in Simplerockets 2 (which is basically a more technical version of KSP) for the last couple of months and it's so interesting to hear you explain something that took me all those weeks to sort of "reinvent" myself. It's kind of fascinating how so many people end up with the same solution to a problem.

So I've been writing scripts for KSP rockets for a while now, and kinda got scared off from PID controllers since I didn't understand them. Thanks to this ( 33:00 - 42:00 ) I now understand exactly what they are. I can even identify that I've written mostly proportional controllers, but I also a Proportional-Derivative controller on one occasion. Thank you so much for this. It's so hard to find good verbose descriptions of these things online

[@RoelBaardman]

In gliding we use the MS5611 barometric pressure sensor a lot. They might be more precise than what you're used to, but the membrane also acts as accelerometer if you have vibrations.

thanks Joe this was relay the thing i needed to see to get my tvc rocket off the ground you are an inspiration : )

I is what will get u back on track. Removes offset. D is what is responsible for quick changes and future predictions. However it will/can cause “windup” the fastest, and needs to be looked at closer than I. Windup will occur faster with D than anything.

[@christophergrove4876]

This was TERRIFIC! I have only one suggestion and that is to balance a broomstick (preferably on your nose) as a graphic representation of the forces and logic (and difficulty) involved! 👍😎

[@wyattb3138]

I thought about using computer vision on a laptop to triangulate the position of the model rocket in 60 FPS from at least two cameras (GoPros), send commands, and use the data to quickly solve for landing. This approach is harder and not as practical. The other approach is the use of beacons. The model rocket pings a WiFi/ Bluetooth signal and receivers on the ground triangulate it’s position very accurately using a trained neural net. You can plot the points and use a physics engine on a laptop to make predictions, then send instructions to the model rocket to take. The downside is that the receivers cannot be blocked and the triangulation becomes less accurate as the model rocket moves farther away.

[@zappin6062]

Dealing with LiPos when I first started with servos and DIY RC planes was f u c k i n g terrifying. Looking back I should have read up a lot more and become far more confident before I got going.
