During the ROCtober launch last weekend we ran into some issues with the Quantum not arming due to a hardware error code. Upon further investigation, it was found that it appeared to be temperature-related, since these were early morning flights and the rockets had sat in the van all night in relatively cool weather (at least for SoCal...). Once it warmed up a bit, everything was fine, in fact we flew one on a K630 with no problems later in the day.
Got back to the shop and did some investigating, and we found that there is apparently an issue with the temperature compensation part of the baro sensor software. We're actively testing a fix and will post it on the Eggtimer Rocketry web site as soon as we can verify it. Until then, note that your Quantum may give you a "two beep" hardware error on power-up if the temperature is below about 60F. We have had no reports of this problem from any users out in the field, but we know it's out there so we're going to get it fixed as quick as we can... we know that there are lots of launches in October and a few big ones (like Midwest Power) in November.
As usual, thanks for your continuing support!
