[00:52:44] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [06:37:19] hehehe, chuck wending meets the fandom menace :) [06:47:43] My KEO sat is 0.003 seconds off a full day's rotation :/ [06:55:51] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdOrqooSS64 [06:55:52] YouTube - Gaia - The Stereoscopic Survey of the Galaxy [07:19:54] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LikxFZZO2sk [07:19:54] YouTube - Parkour Atlas [09:40:29] hi [09:43:21] I would like to make mod for KSP to make my own arduino vessel controller. Is that possible? [09:45:04] Yes [09:45:15] but you don't need to create a new mod [09:45:26] you can use krpc to control KSP over a socket [09:45:34] and then it's pretty easy :) [09:46:09] Groowy: https://github.com/krpc/krpc [09:46:12] I've found KSP API but I don't know how to use it [09:48:41] What I want to do is control panel from arduino that would communicate via serial usb with the plugin to control the vessel [09:48:54] have a look at krpc [09:49:31] That is C# plugin? [09:50:56] Like I don't have any experience with modding KSP :D [09:51:55] click on the link, go to documentation and read. [09:52:30] it's a plugin for KSP, you don't need to mod KSP on your own with it. You just need to write a small python program to get your arduino working in KSP [09:52:32] that's it. [09:53:54] That's amazing, thank you [09:55:18] I'm little bit overwhelmed with it, so I'm sorry if I was catching up too slowly :) [09:57:08] https://66.media.tumblr.com/d7148521e35406a780931817ee6e8f8c/tumblr_n5ipodgFxj1qzcv7no1_540.jpg [10:01:35] hehe [10:01:40] https://66.media.tumblr.com/cb28b42078a71bbad265476afacc5947/tumblr_oapjpvNUQf1qg51mgo1_540.jpg [10:02:08] Mozart was a great guy, but I personally prefer Bach ;) [10:03:48] that looks very santary [10:17:01] geez it gets creepy very fast at end. https://i1.wp.com/www.geeksaresexy.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/hal.jpg [10:30:14] hey, Fluburtur, have you seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTAGQIWEGGM [10:30:14] YouTube - Driving eDen electric Mehari [10:30:33] some day I may move there... if it doesn't get inhabitable thanks to global warming :/ [10:30:42] nope but I have to go soon so I will watch later [11:52:09] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn6mnqZIwf8 [11:52:10] YouTube - News From Europa Documentary - 2018 HD [17:29:23] messing around with a semi random design for a spaceplane... flies crazy well. Sadly, not enough push to get it to orbit yet... [17:40:44] not awake enough to figure out how to fit in more fuel.. [17:43:33] More Isp? [17:44:47] using dual SRBs, though I de-rated them down to almost 75%.. [17:45:23] uh [17:45:41] pic? [17:46:17] ya.. hold on. [17:49:12] https://imgur.com/a/yueYa5R [17:55:20] makes me think of the Titan III missile system.. wonder if I can do a slight mod to the SRBs, make the nozzles vector-able slightly [17:55:27] Is VTHL a design requirement, or is HTHL acceptable? [17:56:05] maybe some jets would be more useful [17:58:38] sorry.. VTHL.. HTHL? I'm guessing vertial versus horizontal? [17:59:32] I didn't upgrade the runway.. still Tier 1... launch pad and VAB are both Tier 2.. [18:00:17] yeah [18:00:50] huh.. well I put the SRBs up to max thrust rating... [18:01:25] did a test run, 105km circular orbit with 6fuel left.. [18:02:49] I normally go only 70-80km so would be enough to get back. Its just a random design I threw together, something to do. I hadn't expected things to work so well even [18:09:08] hrm [18:10:54] eh... [18:11:11] ok so re positioning my struts, now they acting stupid [18:11:12] you dont need the runway [18:11:28] launch from the launchpad, you can just roll out and take off fron newxt to the runway [18:11:40] first point places properly but... other point, doesn't mirror.. wants to go the other direction. hmm [18:14:50] ok.. try restarting KSp... [18:15:03] oh wait.. derp [18:15:38] I turned the craft 90 so that it launches without having to roll.. doing so messes with symmetry.. >_< [18:21:22] ah.. there we go.. lol oh well [18:33:07] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:36:16] re-entry... from70km up.. turns it handles it pretty good. https://imgur.com/a/3uC99UI [18:36:16] https://i.imgur.com/uR3xRtv.png [18:38:21] I mean.. for a delta wing of sorts... [18:45:04] landed safely... looks like it works at least. [18:45:35] yay [18:47:41] I tried to do a soyuz booster separation sequence in stock [18:47:44] not that easy [18:55:19] ... ball joint huh? [18:55:51] I tried to do different sets of sepratrons with different fuel and thrust [18:56:04] as well as some cubes to block the booster from sliding down [18:56:19] it does work but the boosters don't rotate upward [18:57:00] thrust is slightly off sent from the joint [18:57:19] though, how to get the vent part at the top modeled [18:57:40] having thrusters that can fire in sequence would be nice [18:57:45] but I also have no mods [18:58:04] auto seuqenced after disconnection from command section? [18:58:22] yeah [18:58:37] or have the booster decouple slightly before they burn out and then fire the sepratrons [18:59:18] like the real one [18:59:26] event sequencers [19:00:03] wasn't that planned for some future updates? [19:00:08] I used to look into the systems used on the first few space programs.. something of an interesting evolution of controls [19:00:34] not sure... know they did some sorta mission sequencer thing but only in the pay-for-addon [19:27:40] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:40:15] Action: darsie tries to go on a very high solar orbit, but during a ship redesign Jebediah sneaked in instead of Hanlorf ... [20:42:11] Lock Jeb in a can somewhere on the field.. think he gets too much flying time as it is [20:47:57] Jeb is now 1.5 Gm from the Sun and not coming back. [20:56:10] Fire Jeb, and only hire graysuits. [20:57:04] I rescue staff from orbit. [20:57:35] 2.1 Gm [20:58:24] oops [20:58:36] 2.1 Tm* [21:01:52] swap SRBs for liquid fuel boosters... then added a 3rd.. whoops, maybe a bit too much power. Ended up getting a tad toasty shortly after launch [21:15:36] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:53:51] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|ktns' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:55:05] @UmbralRaptop: Fire Jeb. Out of a cannon. Into the sun. [21:55:34] Too much risk that he'll respawn. [22:15:26] Action: JVFoxy messing around again, made something akin to one of those racers you see in F-Zero..
