Anymaker microcontrollers are first-class components inside vehicles, and the Anymaker microcontroller programming guide is the place to start when a craft needs automated startup, mixed-mode throttle logic, or a custom flight controller for a helicopter. Microcontrollers take sensor inputs (throttle, switches, RPS, temperature) and drive outputs (manifolds, pumps, instruments, automated startup sequences), which is what lets a single engine behave well across idle, cruise, and wide-open throttle rather than stalling or running lean at one extreme.

Anymaker microcontroller programming guide to editor modes
| Mode | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
Drag-and-drop logic blocks | Visual editor wiring inputs through condition blocks, math blocks, and outputs without typing code. | Best for prototyping and players who do not want to write anything. |
Text editing | Text-based editor for the same logic, suited to compact logic when the visual flow gets busy. | Handy for refining a block-built draft once the system gets dense. |
Inputs and outputs in practice
A practical controller has clear inputs on one side and clear outputs on the other. Typical inputs are a throttle lever, a starter switch, an RPS sensor, and a temperature sensor. Typical outputs are the fuel manifold, the air manifold, an electric fuel pump, and a dashboard LED or gauge. Naming each input and output makes the rest of the logic easier to follow, especially for helicopter flight controllers where several rotor heads and a tail rotor each want their own control signals.
The baseline throttle-splitting logic
Connect the throttle lever directly to the air manifold
Start with the air path as the master signal.
Split the signal so the same value reaches two branches
One branch is for the air side, one is for the fuel side.
Route one branch through a function block set to divide by two (x / 2)
Use a math block to scale the signal.
Send the function block output to the fuel manifold
This produces a clean starting fuel-to-air ratio.
Startup sequences and scaling logic
For anything more than a basic engine, use the microcontroller for the full startup sequence: prime the fuel pump, engage the starter until RPS climbs above a threshold, release the clutch, idle down to a target RPM, then enable a fan and a coolant pump when engine temperature crosses a setpoint. Once the engine is running, the same microcontroller can throttle based on a pedal, drive a turbo wastegate, or coordinate anti-torque on a helicopter tail rotor. Move from baseline logic to layered logic in small steps. Build, run, log the sensors, change one block or one line, build and run again. The Anymaker engine wiring guide pairs with this guide because the wiring tells the microcontroller which inputs are real and which outputs the engine actually listens to.
