# Install rerun-cli
cargo install rerun-cli
cargo install peng_quad
peng_quad config/quad.yaml# Install rerun-cli
cargo install rerun-cli
git clone https://github.com/makeecat/Peng.git
cd Peng
cargo run --release config/quad.yaml- You can configure the simulation through config file, see quad.yaml for example.
- Configure simulation parameters such as mass, inertia, and control gains.
- Configure control parameters such as PID gains.
- Configure trajectory planner parameters such as waypoints, obstacles, and trajectory type.
- Configure visualization parameters such as camera intrinsics and depth rendering.
If you encountered any issue with the rerun:
- Verify rerun-cli version matches rerun version in Cargo.toml:
rerun --version- For Linux/WSL2 users, consult the rerun troubleshooting.
- Wind field and environmental effects
- Motor dynamics simulation
- Multi-quadrotor simulation
- Model Predictive Control (MPC)
