Control Systems and Rockets (Patreon)

Hi Patrons! I have something interesting here...

Not sure if everyone will be interested, but if you've ever felt lost or confused about control systems(TVC, GNC, State-Space, Kalman Filters, etc), the fantastic Brian Douglas and I will be giving a small live-streamed presentation and Q&A tomorrow at 4pm ET / 1pm PT to try and cover all the basics.

In the BPS Discord(which you should join if you haven't!), we've had a number of questions about control systems and how they're practically used in the real world. How do you find the perfect set of PID gains? How do you simulate your system to get those gains? How can you fuse multiple sensor measurements together? All these things come up in control systems, and that certainly includes the rockets I build.

Brian has been giving some of the best control lectures on the internet for a while now, and has graciously offered to give a presentation on them here, with a bit of context of how these topics relate to Sprite/rockets. You can find his videos here: https://www.youtube.com/user/ControlLectures

At the end of the presentation we'll do a Q&A for anyone who joins the stream, and the video will remain up afterward for those who aren't available during it. 

TLDR; Tomorrow at 4pm ET / 1pm PT, click the video above and learn about control systems!

Blue skies,

Joe
