Abstract:
1. A drilling rig with a position and velocity measuring tool for drilling a wellbore, wherein the drilling rig comprises: a. a derrick with a crown with sheaves and a cable; b. a lifting means connected to the cable on one end; c. a drawworks connected to the cable on an end opposite the lifting means for raising and lowering the lifting means; d. a power supply for providing power to a mud pump, the drawworks, a top drive and the position and velocity measuring tool; e. a controller for operating the power supply, the drawworks, the top drive and the mud pump; f. the top drive mounted to the lifting means, wherein the top drive comprises: g. the position and velocity measuring tool comprising: a processor, a data storage connected to the controller for operating the drawworks, wherein the position and velocity measuring tool automatically controls the drilling by adjusting linearly and continuously, setpoints during drilling without a need for using look up tables, indexes or lists, and by using actual drilling data with setpoints and linearly adjusted setpoints; and h. wherein the data storage comprises: at least one operator directional drilling steering system dashboard using an auto driller presenting at least one of: a weight on bit monitoring and controlling section, a rate of penetration monitoring and controlling section, and a differential pressure monitoring and controlling section, wherein the at least one operator directional drilling steering system dashboard for steering drill pipe by rotating the top drive by degrees and by revolutions per minute simultaneously is viewable on at least one display, and wherein the at least one operator directional drilling steering system dashboard comprises: i. wherein the at least one operator directional drilling steering system dashboard is formed using computer instructions instructing the processor to:
