Cannot get MechJeb to work

[Chakkoty]

Since I absolutely suck at docking and rendevouz, I tried using MechJeb. It doesn't do anything, though. I have all the windows and the module installed, it even sets nodes but doesn't steer my ship or anything. Using KSP 1.8.

First note thar MJ can't do anything else than would be possible with manual control.
So the craft need to have the ability to act to the controls.

Second, noone can help you without logs and/or craft files.

I just realized I'm an idiot who just built his rocket wrong. Dreadful sorry for the inconvenience! It all works now.

Glad you found the cause of the problem and could resolve it, @Chakkoty  

Here is an excellent tutorial about rendezvous and docking by our fellow Kerbonaut @Snark:
