Operational Versatility
The unique reaction wheel design, which can be seamlessly transformed from an orthogonal structure to a pyramid configuration, allows for the simulation of various ADCS (Attitude Determination and Control System) scenarios on a single platform. This flexibility is critical for validating diverse operational modes without needing multiple physical setups.
Advanced Hardware Architecture
The system is equipped with a high-resolution 16-bit PWM controlled drive layer, an integrated precision IMU sensor, along with USB Type-C and wireless communication infrastructure. This architecture ensures real-time telemetry and uninterrupted control. Furthermore, MATLAB/Simulink compatible HIL/SIL integration and a multi-platform GUI optimize the development and verification of modern control algorithms.
