QSAT ADSC simulink 3D simulation

This was a temporary repo for the sat ADCS simulation and is no longer up to date.

The simulation repo was moved to the QSET github, if you're looking for the current simulation or want access to work on it, please message me and I'll get you set up.

Simulation requirements

To run the simulation you will need MATLAB and Simulink installed on your computer:

https://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html https://www.mathworks.com/products/simulink.html

As a queen's student, you should be able to get these for free. To access the 3D visualization you may need Simulink 3D Animation. Send me a message if you're interested in getting a liscense for it.

Simulation Setup

Clone the repository and open the rotation.slx file with simulink. Running it will build the model and generate a folder called slprj. These are mostly small temporary files and should not be under source control.
