# Modules Reference: Controller

## airship_att_control

Source: [modules/airship_att_control](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/tree/main/src/modules/airship_att_control)

### Опис

Це реалізує регулятор положення аеростата і швидкості. Ideally it would
take attitude setpoints (`vehicle_attitude_setpoint`) or rate setpoints (in acro mode
via `manual_control_setpoint` topic) as inputs and outputs actuator control messages.

Currently it is feeding the `manual_control_setpoint` topic directly to the actuators.

### Імплементація

## mc_nn_control

Source: [modules/mc_nn_control](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/tree/main/src/modules/mc_nn_control)

### Опис

Multicopter Neural Network Control module.
This module is an end-to-end neural network control system for multicopters.
It takes in 15 input values and outputs 4 control actions.
Inputs: [pos_err(3), att(6), vel(3), ang_vel(3)]
Outputs: [Actuator motors(4)]

### Usage {#mc_nn_control_usage}

```
mc_nn_control <command> [arguments...]
 Commands:
   start

   stop

   status        print status info
```

## mc_pos_control

Source: [modules/mc_pos_control](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/tree/main/src/modules/mc_pos_control)

### Опис

The controller has two loops: a P loop for position error and a PID loop for velocity error.
Output of the velocity controller is thrust vector that is split to thrust direction
(i.e. rotation matrix for multicopter orientation) and thrust scalar (i.e. multicopter thrust itself).

The controller doesn't use Euler angles for its work, they are generated only for more human-friendly control and
logging.

### Usage {#mc_pos_control_usage}

mc_pos_control <command> [arguments...]
 Commands:
   start
     [vtol]      VTOL mode

## navigator

Source: [modules/navigator](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/tree/main/src/modules/navigator)

### Опис

Module that is responsible for autonomous flight modes. This includes missions (read from dataman),
takeoff and RTL.
It is also responsible for geofence violation checking.

### Імплементація

The different internal modes are implemented as separate classes that inherit from a common base class `NavigatorMode`.
The member `_navigation_mode` contains the current active mode.

Navigator publishes position setpoint triplets (`position_setpoint_triplet_s`), which are then used by the position
controller.

### Usage {#navigator_usage}

```
navigator <command> [arguments...]
 Commands:
   start

   fencefile     load a geofence file from SD card, stored at etc/geofence.txt

   fake_traffic  publishes 24 fake transponder_report_s uORB messages

   stop

   status        print status info
```
