Piloting

the current method works when steering_angle is 0

when steering is <> 0, then heading is changing (as well as position)

first calc the new heading

then calc the new position (already done)

treat steering_angle as a bearing, that is, an angle in degrees, add it to the previous heading to get the new heading

  • lastKnownHeading + steering_angle = newHeading
  • heading = orientation of the vehicle
  • heading+helm = prediction of future course
  • course = actual travel = line from previous position to current position
  • simmode = precise
    • heading is set instantly to what we want we want it to be
    • line: heading = course, line from prevpos to current positon
    • arc: heading is assumed to be perpendicular to the ray from cone to current position
    • both: on nextleg, heading jumps to next leg from
    • no drift
  • simmode = helmed
    • heading is what it is
    • course is what it is
    • set helm bring course back to what we want
    • includes drift
  • when we reach a cone
    • change bearing to next cone
    • set helm to steer a circle - how to calculate this based on radius and speed?
    • stay in the circle until heading = bearing
