Releases: WPI-HPRC/ORBrake
v1.1
Various improvements to the controller. Primarily, the input to the controller was changed from current altitude to the apogee predicted by a simple projectile motion calculation. Despite its simplicity, the controller is now able to put a rocket within 2 ft of its target apogee. Other improvements include the automatic determining of simulation step time and improvements to the config menu.
v1.0
Utilizes a GUI tunable discrete PID controller to control altitude of a simulated rocket. Maximum drag is based on a 3D surface is a function of both velocity and altitude. The constants that define the surface are currently baked into the plugin. The surface in this build is based of simulations of the airbrake system of the 2021 competition rocket for HPRC.
v0.1
This release is not intended for use!
This is purely a proof of concept for the dev environment and a base plugin and is being used to write instructions for installing the plugin. All it does is apply phantom forces and screw up simulations.
