This demonstrates a closed loop, single-threaded mass-spring-damper with a PID controller. I've also demonstrated some zero-mean Gaussian noise, and plotting is carried out by a separate script. Models can run at different rates, and the example includes two logging rate groups as well.
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python world.py 10.0 5.0 && python plotter.py
Note that the mandatory arguments for world.py are:
- the simulation duration (in units of time)
- the desired position of the mass (PID controller setpoint)
The simulation is defined in world.py in __main__.
To run unit tests,
pytest test/
I decided against using mypy to check typing because it would be difficult to finish this task in five hours with typing.
