About

This project is an online simulator of a thrust control system (PID Controller) for a rocket. The controller controls thrust of the rocket. We presume, that the rocket can move only in the Y axis. Goal of the simulation: the rocket should reach the destination height, starting from zero.

Simulation variables: PID controller constants (kP, kI, kD), time step, simulation time, max thrust (of the engine), destination height.

Used technologies: TypeScript, Next.js

The project runs online here: srflp.github.io/pid-rocket

Getting Started
