AUV Ballast & Thruster Control (2D)

2D top-down and depth-profile port of the AUV ballast/thruster simulator: flood or purge ballast tanks for free buoyancy control, then fire vectored thrusters for surge, sway and yaw.

A 2D Canvas port of the 3D AUV control simulator, showing both a top-down view (surge/sway/yaw thruster vectoring) and a depth-profile side view (ballast-driven buoyancy) of the same real vehicle model. Slide the ballast control to flood or purge the tanks — watch the vehicle sink, rise, or hover at neutral buoyancy without spending thruster energy. Use the direction pad to fire the six vectored thrusters for forward/reverse, lateral sway and yaw rotation, with a live readout of every thruster's individual output.
