We normally set up 10-15, but we have set up as many as 30. It depends on the launch, be we need more of a system for the high and away cells. Your system would be perfect for that sort of set up.
Normal monthly launch, 5 at model rocket distance, 5 at J distance, 5 at L distance, and an away cell if there are going to be any M flights. Larger launches it"s 10, 10, 5, and 5 at the away cell.Just curious. How many pads do you guys normally set up?
A group of one?
I haven't decided if I would try and sell these. But even so I doubt I would offer kits or bare boards. That would require a ton of additional documentation. A well written assembly guide takes a lot of time. I could never recover my costs. I don't even have an operating manual yet.
Electronics and computers have been my hobby a lot longer than rocketry. This is all supposed to be for learning and fun.
But hey you never know.
If course if the igniter leads are shorted (e.g., the clips are shorted), the current is totally maxed out. It’s got to be in the 100-200 amp range if you use car batteries as the power source. Under these circumstances you know the standard procedure … if the igniter does not light, try again … perhaps two or three times. You have continuity, so you just keep pushing the button. The launch box effectively becomes an arc welder. I have no solution for this other than to change the relays on a regular basis.
