This project is a Real-Time Gyroscope Precession Simulation that provides an interactive interface to visualize and understand gyroscopic precession dynamics. The application uses Python's Tkinter for GUI design and Matplotlib for 2D and 3D visualizations.
- Adjust the gyroscope's spin rate (RPM) and applied torque (N·m) using sliders.
- Real-time updates to the gyroscopic behavior and associated plots.
- Torque vs Precession and Precession vs Time live-updating plots.
- A 3D gyroscope visualization that rotates dynamically based on user input.
- Tracks simulation data such as time, torque, and precession angle.
- Displays historical data in a tabular format.
- Generates a statistical report and saves data as a CSV file for further analysis.
- Modern, styled GUI with tooltips, real-time labels, and smooth interactions.
Ensure you have the following installed:
- Python 3.8 or higher
- Required libraries:
pip install numpy matplotlib pandas
git clone https://github.com/your-username/gyroscope-simulation.git
cd gyroscope-simulationpython gyroscope_simulation.py- Use sliders to set spin rate (RPM) and torque (N·m).
- Click Pause to stop or resume the simulation.
- Click Reset to clear the simulation data.
- Click the Generate Report button to view and save a summary of simulation data.
- Observe real-time updates in the plots and the 3D gyroscope visualization.
- Gyroscope Dynamics: Precession angle is updated based on torque and angular velocity.
- Real-Time Simulation: Updates plots and visualizations every 10ms.
- Data Logging: Tracks historical data and maintains it in a tree-view table.
