[Week 16] Final Blog Post and Demo Video

1. Final Simulator Application

The completed project allows the user to simulate the control algorithms that are used to control UAVs. The simulator created models the dynamics and generates the motor voltages that are used to control UAV during flight. Disturbance functionality is also included but hasn't been tested extensively. The final application shows the PID output compared to the desired motor output and shows an animation of the altitude controlled flight. Two control schemes are presented, open loop and closed loop control. The final application shows the trajectories generated by these control schemes to allow for a visual comparison.
