LBP2 Hover -- without Gravity tweaker

Archive: 11 posts


Hello,

have you ever tried to make a Hover vehicle using only thrusters and not Gravity tool on LBP2?

Here is my hover, it uses Exclusively thrusters; it has an "AI" that keeps the hover in the air best possible.

it can be activated or deactivated using "Circle"

Why, yes, I have, actually. I made one for Contraption Challenge 18. It was supposed to transport a bomb, but had trouble with steep climbs and drops. How is yours with those?2014-09-15 20:35:00

I can tell you was not a easy job; I've created a circuit I called Hover AI; but basically is a circuit that will compensate how fast it drops or climbs, if it drops too fast then it applies power to thrusters to compensates the drop, and if is climb to fast it shutdown thrusters until it reach a good speed aprox. 0.5 up and 0.5 down, is not too bad I think it does the work; and keep hover in mid air.

I will show the circuits in a moment.

This is the chip that keep hover floating

In fact is not too complex it basically calculates how fast hover is climbing up and then reduces amount of thrust power to compesate, at the same time if hover is dropping to fast then aplies sufficient power to thrusters in order to reduce dropping speed.


The base of this circuit are the speed sensors that teach hover how to manage thrusters depending on speed.

Thank you amiel445566, yes it's very simple indeed; I will publish later on an explanation how it works.

...or may be I should do that on Tutorials...?
