The overarching objective of the simulator is to approximate a hardware experiment. I believe that the on-board PID controllers on the Ascending Technologies platform operate at a fixed frequency. In some of the simulator examples, this rate is shared with the control loop. It would make sense to decouple these two loops, as we don't have control of the PID in hardware experiments. What is needed is:
- Clarify the control loops / rates
- Document the control loops / rates
- Document the limits of the platform
