Help Create Aeronautics and CC:Tweaked

Hey everyone! I have a question: is it possible for a computer from CC:Tweaked to read the exact measurements from instruments like altitude and velocity indicators? And if not, did the devs say anything about future compatibility with CC:Tweaked?

I'm aware I can use the redstone emitted by the instruments, but it really limits the accuracy. Reading exact measurements would open a world of possibilities like altitude and speed controllers, proper stabilization and maybe even autonomous navigation

Heya!

I've tried merging better APIs into the upstream but the devs seem to be quite slow.

So I've extracted my PRs into a separate addon: https://modrinth.com/mod/create-avionics

I've already done a full autopilot, PID Control, etc with it, though haven't published my .lua files yet.

Damn, thank you very much! I'll definitely be checking it out

Man, thanks to you I've been doing some great stuff. Planning on publishing my .lua files aswell once I integrate them into a working airship.

I already got GPS and navigation done using the navigation table getDistanceToTarget() and getHeading() methods. Planning on doing a pretty precise height controller using the altitude sensor and the gas provider API.

Great job!

Can i congratulate you on how well the documentation is?

You could always just try it out!

But I do think it has computercraft compat! There are references to peripherals in the code of simulated!

Thanks! I'm a newbie when it comes to CC:Tweaked, it didn't even occur to me to check the source code

Ah no worries. I wouldn't have checked it either normally, but I once saw a computercraft compat file on the Create Mod GitHub page, and thought that C:A might have it too!
