Vehicle Controllers Overview

This directory contains modular logic controllers that manage specific vehicle systems, safety electronics, and integrations.

Primary Logic Controllers

• Vehicle Controller: The main logic manager for shifting, braking, and user-facing control logic.
• ESC (Electronic Stability Control): Manages stability and traction control interventions.
• Drive Modes: Orchestrates vehicle-wide driving profiles (Sport, Eco, etc.).
• Player Controller: Core logic for walking/unicycle mode.
• Beam Navigator: Backend for in-vehicle navigation screens.
• Lightbar: Management of animated emergency lighting patterns.

Shifting and Powertrain Control

• Shift Logic: Modular logic for different gearbox types (Automatic, Manual, DCT, CVT, etc.).
• 4WD Control: Management of selectable 4WD and transfer case systems.
• Axle Lift: Control for hydraulic/pneumatic axle lift mechanisms.
• Two Step Launch: Stationary launch control limiter.
• Line Lock: Front/rear brake line locking for burnouts.

Driving Dynamics and CMU

• CMU (Control Management Unit): The central hub for driving dynamics sensors and supervisors.
• Actuators: Electronic controls for differentials, dampers, and torsion bars.
• Supervisors: High-level slip and yaw control modules (TCS, ESC).
• Sensors: Virtual and physical sensor processing for dynamics logic.

Auxiliary Systems

• Braking: Specialized braking logic (Adaptive lights, braked steering, etc.).
• Pneumatics: Air-based actuators and leveling. Uses Pressure Tanks.
• Hydraulics: Fluid-based cylinders and pumps.
• Couplings: Fifth-wheel and kingpin coordination.
• Prop Animation: Visual movement logic for levers, dials, and props.
• Sound: Specialized audio controllers (AVAS, airbrakes).

Developer and Tech Utilities

• Tech: BeamNG.tech-specific co-simulation, sensors, and protocols (CAN, LIN, MQTT).
• Gauges: Backend for modern instrument clusters and custom gauge modules.
• Test: Metrics and calibration utilities.
• Controller Template: A boilerplate for creating new custom controllers.
