Model Notes

Single-axis rigid-body attitude motion is integrated with a discrete PID torque command.

τ = Kp e + Ki ∫e dt + Kd de/dt

τ = I α, α = dω/dt, ω = dθ/dt

The displayed error uses the shortest angular distance to the target. Actuator saturation, external disturbances, damping, and sensor noise are not included.
