How do I stop the rotational velocity of the Gyroscope yaw?

711 Mysweetbologna  3.9 years ago

Title might be confusing, but I’m trying to make a turret that can be rotated using the yaw feature of the Gyroscope. The problem with this is that I need to counteract the force to make the turret stop spinning. Is there a way to make sure that it stops spinning the moment I let go of the yaw?

I’ve tried using gears, but they’re frictionless and don’t do much aside from slow down the turn speed.

    @Mysweetbologna try putting "sum(Yaw)" into the input with overload, capitalization matters

    I did that, and the input doesn’t work. Also, for context, the type of turret I’m making is for a tank, so I’m looking for ways to make it go full 360° turns continuously. Hence why I tried using gyros and freespin rotators. @Destroyerz117

    if you want a turret that can be turned with yaw and hold it's position use overload to set the rotators input to sum(yaw)

    I honestly dont know.. try doing a few things like setting more stability or gyro speed.. play with yaw power too.. and lastly add more gyros and see if that solves your issue

    @BeryllCorp wow, that does have an effect, but there’s still a slight amount of momentum when I let go. How do I deal with that?

    Turn the gyroscope sideways
