boriz Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Sorry if this has been covered before... KOS provides access to internal variables like altitude, pitch, speed, time etc. Is it possible to make those internal variables available to the KAL system? Like this: Internal variables are passed though a user defined mapping/scaling function (to normalise between 0 and 1, or invert for example), then it is 'mounted' as the horizontal coordinate on a KAL control graph. Let's say for example, you wanted to automate your pitch change during a rocket ascent. You want the pitch to start at 90 (vertical) at altitude=0m, and end at zero (horizontal) at altitude=60000m. Assuming the ALT variable is in meters, and your scaling function is just x=x, you set the KAL x range to 0-60000 and mount the ALT variable to the x axis. The y axis range is set 0-90, with any ascent profile you like. The output can operate control surfaces/robot parts directly, or be mounted as the x component on another KAL graph. Possible?
