# Modules Reference: Controller
## airship_att_control
Source: [modules/airship_att_control](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/tree/main/src/modules/airship_att_control)
### Description
This implements the airship attitude and rate controller. 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.
### Implementation
To reduce control latency, the module directly polls on the gyro topic published by the IMU driver.

### Description
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.
### Implementation
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.

The rc_update module handles RC channel mapping: read the raw input channels (`input_rc`),
then apply the calibration, map the RC channels to the configured channels & mode switches
and then publish as `rc_channels` and `manual_control_input`.
### Implementation
To reduce control latency, the module is scheduled on input_rc publications.

### Description
This module is used to replay ULog files.
There are 2 environment variables used for configuration: `replay`, which must be set to an ULog file name - it's
the log file to be replayed. The second is the mode, specified via `replay_mode`:
- `replay_mode=ekf2`: specific EKF2 replay mode. It can only be used with the ekf2 module, but allows the replay
to run as fast as possible.

### Description
The temperature compensation module allows all of the gyro(s), accel(s), and baro(s) in the system to be temperature
compensated. The module monitors the data coming from the sensors and updates the associated sensor_correction topic
whenever a change in temperature is detected. The module can also be configured to perform the coeffecient calculation
routine at next boot, which allows the thermal calibration coeffecients to be calculated while the vehicle undergoes
a temperature cycle.
