Back from Black Rock and reviewing flight data.
I built a two stage rocket to fly to 130k feet but the sustainer did not light despite meeting all criteria on both Altus Metrums.
Both computers had continuity and full voltage available to the motor pyro channels (channel A) throughout the flight and I tested the battery e-match configuration multiple times. I was also using separate pyro batteries for the flight. This leads me to believe it was a programming issue and not hardware. This was also my first time flying the Easy. All other channels fired and the rocket was recovered.
Below is a screen grab of my ignition criteria. Please take a look and help me out for my next flight!
