SIM_lander

SIM_lander simulates a lunar lander, with manual and automatic controls.

Building the Simulation

In the SIM_lander directory, type trick-CP to build the simulation executable. When it's complete, you should see:

=== Simulation make complete ===

Now cd into models/graphics/ and type make. This builds the display client for the simulation.

Running the Simulation

In the SIM_lander directory:

% S_main_*.exe RUN_test/input.py

The Sim Control Panel, and a GUI called "Lander Range" should appear.

Click the Start on the Trick Sim Control Panel.

Using the controls shown below have fun!

Variable	Type	Units
dyn.lander.pos	double[2]	m
dyn.lander.vel	double[2]	m
dyn.lander.angle	double	rad
