Redstone Flight Control Set

Github: GitHub - Redstone Flight Control Set [Check GitHub for a quick tutorial!]

I have been working on an airship in Create Aeronautics, and it took me days to build a redstone pd circuit that would control my physical-fan-driven craft, yet the result was simply not much better than having no control. Then I made this mod so things'll be much easier for you. 

Note: I am a mod noob, and AI is extensively used at the begining of this project. I attempted to reverse-engineer the ai code and crafted the code structure in a way that seems OO-friendly to me, but I do not garantee that this mod is bug-free nor highly efficient. 

Note: Despite looking like a aeronautics addon, this mod has NO prereq at all. You are free to explore any non-aeronautic use of this mod. 

Brief overview of all stuff: 

EVERYTHING has [shift] description

PIDer config menu

A full list of items: 

Plier - A "wrench". Right-click rotates any full block CW (except signal passer). Shift+RC breaks any mod block and a few more (even entities). Is compatible with any other mod using the wrench tag. Now can be enchanted with sword enchants & Silk Touch / Fortune. 

Analog Met - Configurable output plate that can paste on anything. Gives direct signal to the face it attaches on. 

PWMer - Provides PWM output of [back_input-1, back_input] based on side input. 

PIDer - Provides PIDed output of the back input signal. Also attempts to "self-correct" the input based on derivatives. 

Cross-Reading PIDer - PIDer specified at controlling one axis of aeronautics' gimble sensor. 

S-PIDer - Not a spider, but a PIDer that provides full PID signal from a gimble sensor. Is optimally put facing back ("S-direction") of your ship so the output labels will be correct. Note non-S blocks CAN pass the S-PIDer signal, but CAN NOT correctly calculate nor decode them. (In the code the signal is two ints concatinated and transferred as one int)

Oscillation Detector - Detects if the back signal passes through 0 for two times. 

HOLC - High-Open-Low-Closed. Outputs RS when back input goes below the lower bound, not stop outputing until it goes >= the higher bound. Can toggle invert behavior and config bounds in Shift+RC menu. 

[WIP] Helicopter Brain & Mirrored version - Control chip for helicopters. Have not yet passed the utility test. Basically takes navigator-based rotor angle data from left, S-signal WASD control from back, mean pitch from right and output four blade angle signal. The mirrored version flips left and right. Must be decoded by helicopter outputs. 

*New* Signal Mixer - Weighted sum of left, right and back signals. Weights can be set via Shift+RC menu. Can be quite useful when making a full-ranged PID control without losing level accuracy. 

*New* MOSFET - Outputs back signal when side signal >0. Just like a simplified MOSFET. 

Add Minuser - One-block multiface +- redstone signal. Should be pretty intuitive once you saw it. 

Four Adder, Four Minuser, Half Add Minuser, Half Adder, Half Minuser - Variants of Add-Minuser providing different numbers of +- faces. 

Paired Input - Takes two groups of two [0,15] normal RS signal and translate that into [-15,15] internal RS signal of this mod. Think of how you would read pitch signals from a gimble sensor. 

Paired Output - The reverse of paired input. Takes [-15,15] signal and decodes that back into two [0,15] signals. Both paired block can do TWO groups at the same time. Same group have the same face base color. 

S-Paired Input - WASD input to manually craft a S-signal. 

S-Common Input - Adds a comment shift to S-signal. All outputs will receive corresponding control signal + input sum of this

S-Output - WASD output for S-PIDer. When put facing "S-direction", all labels'll be correct. 

S-Output Varied - S-Output but moved the bottom to back (technically front in the code) so you don't have to dig a hole on your floor. Can interchange with S-Output via crafting. 

S-Quad Decoder - Quad Decoder for S-PIDer input. When put facing "S-direction", all labels'll be correct. Can not decode Squad. 

S-Quad Decoder Varied - S-Q.D. but moved the bottom to back (technically front in the code) so you don't have to dig a hole on your floor. Can interchange with S-Q.D. via crafting. 

Common-Shift Paired Output - Paired output excepts works for only one group but allows a common shift on both outputs. E.g. input 5 would output {5,0} on a paired output, adding common shift of 2 would output {7,2}. Negative input faces provided. 

Differ-Shift Paired Output - Accepts a base signal and output base signal +- set shift. E.g. Input base 12 and shift 3 would output {9,15}. Negative faces provided. 

Quad Signal Decoder - Basically WASD -> quadcopter-like / aileroned-tail signal. Is slightly complicated to explain so see more at in-game [shift] hint. 

[WIP] Helicopter Output - Output for helicopter brain. Placed two-in-a-row to have full effect, where the first one outputs positive signals for four blades and the second one outputs negative. 

Signal Diffuser - Broadcasts input signal to all other faces. 

Signal Passer - 3-way (technically 6-way but not yet any block support that) independent signal passing. 

Other features: 

Configurable menu color in config. No BG swap avaliable cause it's code-generated. 

Configurable blacklist to prevent items from interacting with blocks in this mod.
