Control Airship Rotation with Analog Torsion Springs

How Analog Torsion Springs Work

Analog Torsion Springs adjust rotation angles based on redstone signal strength. Instead of simple on/off rotation, they divide your set angle into 15 precise steps, letting you tilt wings, rudders, or control surfaces smoothly.

Crafting and Installation

1. Craft an Analog Torsion Spring using a brass casing, a shaft, a spring, and an electron tube.

2. Attach it to your control surface—typically a wing or rudder assembly on your airship.

3. Configure the maximum rotation angle in the block's settings. This is the full angle it will rotate at maximum redstone signal strength.

4. Connect redstone input from your wireless receiver or control system.

Using It in Flight

Send redstone signals of varying strength (0–15) to achieve proportional rotation. Signal strength 0 = no rotation, strength 15 = full configured angle. This enables smooth, gradual control adjustments mid-flight, perfect for banking turns or fine-tuning pitch without jerky movements.
