Thanks again for the sale! Got my order this morning in the mail!

Received and started to look at all the goodies. John, the 4 pin header at the top of the Gyro... Is that a pass-through for additional gadgets? Can I use the Marsanet gadget to enable the remote pyro gadgets with the Tilt module all on the same base by daisy chaining the 4-pin headers?
NikeMikey is correct. The 4-pin header on the Gyro is for programming the board in the event of a firmware upgrade.Received and started to look at all the goodies.

User guides on the website.Is there documentation available for the 33 (pdf etc.) and the tilt module?
I would personally prefer a single PDF file rather than multiple web pages.User guides on the website.

Currently checked when event is due. Planned firmware release to add a rate inhibit to the decision. The tilt module sends rate but the altimeter doesn't process it in the current releaseI would personally prefer a single PDF file rather than multiple web pages.
Question: for the tilt gadget, does any exceedance of the tilt limit during ascent abort the stage ignition, or is this just checked instantaneously when the other conditions are met?
There's no information about the 33's physical dimensions or how to connect the LCD to it in that manual, so one has no way to know what else might be different, if anything.I think one source of confusion might be that the manual for the 33 and the 54 are currently one in the same.
Will doI think one source of confusion might be that the manual for the 33 and the 54 are currently one in the same. John on the webpage I might suggest that you put a note stating that the manual is the same for both altimeters, you might also consider renaming the file so that it lists the 33 in the file name.
Don't know about all but I agree.I think we can all agree that the documentation needs some work.
Since you're the only one whose opinion matters, that's what counts. Thanks!Don't know about all but I agree.
More documentation questions.
1) The timer-mtr setting says "The Timer-Mtr event will not fire if an in-flight anomaly is detected." What kinds of anomalies are detected?
2) The tilt gadget has a wider-range barometric sensor. How does this affect the apogee detection modes? Does "baro only" use this sensor, or does only "kalman" use it? What mode do you recommend for flights above 45K MSL with the tilt gadget present?
Hi, what are the hole centers on the
Is there some sort of a lockout that the rocket has to be ascending for an airstart event. The way I read the manual, you could have the following scenario: At burnout + T, tilt is > threshold which prevents firing. After apogee and parachute deployment, rocket gryo module is point up (depending where mounted), so burnout +T, tilt < threshold, and v < max, so all three conditions are met and you would have a (bad) firing, unless there is some sort of additional lockout condition, either implicit or explicitly programmed. This could be a miniumum velocity for firing, or better yet, rocket has to be ascending.
I would imagine that's close to being everyone's use case. Mine is the same except there is an altitude lockout: time > t_burnout + t1 & angle < maxTilt angle & altitude > min_altitude and rocket ascending. Unless speed is 6DOF-integrated by the tilt gadget to mean "vertical speed" then I've found that the accelerometer-derived speed can be misleading, since the speed could be close to what was expected even if the rocket was flying horizontally; at any rate, I don't plan to use the speed conditions at all myself.My use case is to airstart a motor shortly after burnout while the rocket is ascending and not tilted.
