I have some minimal programming skills and I would like to write a simple autopilot addon. I've done a quick survey of the existing autopilots on OH and I didn't found one that would match my wanted characteristics.
I've looked over Gemini Project's documentation, page 5, Section 4. Launch, at the Manual FLlght Plan and I would like to automatize it and more. Goes like this:
MET+000 Launch
MET+010 Pitch to 85 degrees
MET+020 Pitch to 80 degrees
and so on. I would like to have triggers, like MET, altitude, speed, to combine them with logical operators, and to triggers some actions (pitch, roll, yaw, RCS forward, backward, etc). Something like:
IF (MET=100 OR ALTITUDE>200) THEN PITCH 80
This condition would be hardcoded for some scenarios/addons or could be loaded from a .ini file (script?). In this way, autopilots for ascending, descending, orbiting and docking can be scripted or hardcoded, and will be useful for any ship.
Does something like this exists? Will it be hard for a newbie like me? Where should I start, maybe you can indicate some autopilot source code for guiding?
Thank you.
