Super simple drone simulation.

DroneSim

A super simple drone simulation. Simulates the behavior of a single drone (only in Z/Up direction) affected by a single input:

• Normalized drone acceleration (input)

The simulation considers:

• Time (advanced by simulation)
• Earth gravity (constant)
• Maximal drone acceleration (constant)
• Maximal landing speed (constant)

The flight data (time, height, speed, acceleration, user_data) is saved to a CSV file. If the drone lands with more than the maximal landing speed, the vehicle is considered "crashed" and stops working.

Check out drone_simulation.h for more details on the API.

Goals

This simulation is used by beginners learning embedded software design in C on the topic of PID Control and thus tries to be

1. very simple,
2. compilable with VirtualC IDE.
