Quadcopter Control for a lunar rover
Simulate a lunar rover live in your browser. This runs the real Quadcopter Control solver — adjust the inputs, watch it respond instantly, and export the result. No install, no account.
Controls
Presets
A quadcopter holds position with nested control loops: an outer loop turns position error into a desired tilt and thrust, and an inner loop drives the attitude to that tilt. Tune the PID gains for a snappy, stable response — too little derivative and it oscillates, too much and it sluggishly drifts. Click to send a waypoint.

About this simulation
The full Quadcopter Control tool models a lunar rover with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
