Orbitrol (Orbital) Steering

Controls hydraulic orbital steering units used on heavy equipment and industrial vehicles. Converts steering input into hydraulic flow to steering cylinders, providing full hydraulic steering without a mechanical linkage.

Hooks

HookDescription
init(jbeamData)Identifies the hydraulic steering cylinders and initializes the steering PID controller.
updateFixedStep(dt)Primary control loop. Calculates the average steering angle from hydraulic cylinders and applies valve corrections to match the driver's steering input.
module.reset(jbeamData)Resets the controller to its initial state.

Hydraulic Trailer Feet

Controls hydraulically-powered trailer landing gear. Extends and retracts support legs using hydraulic cylinders for connecting/disconnecting trailers.

Linear Actuator Trailer Feet

Controls electrically-driven linear actuator trailer landing gear. Extends and retracts support legs using linear actuators instead of hydraulics.
