Hello
After seing the Altduino altimeter
www.altduino.de
I have decided to build my own using an arduino nano board and a BMP085 pressure sensor
Arduino board are not expensive at all when you get them on eBay and I have spent less than 20 dollar for all the componant
I have not tried the altimeter in a rocket yet (weather is quite bad at the moment where I live) but I have simulated it on the ground and all seem to work well.
This a dual altimeter, you can choose the main altitude by changing jumpers and it will report the altitude by beeping it.
Of course it hase continuity test as well.
It cannot record flight data yet (SD card reader is on order) but without changing the hardware (just the software) it could be just changed so that it detect lift off, start a timer and do an airstart!!!!
I am sharing everything so that it can be improved
