Crazy Jim's Gone Banana's
It's official...flew the latest rendition in my DarkStar 3 & 75 SpaceCowboy ............
I flew the Alpha 3 test version over the weekend and for the first time got to use the companion LCD readout unit. this thing is sweet. Just plug it in, to read out your flight data or change any of the many settings available.
After some more testing of this unit, the Beta's will be here for final testing.[Beta is actual unit that will be sold to everyone, with correct color & labeling, the alpha's are pretty much hand made for all the testing and revisions that have been done along the way]
After we fully test the Beta.....finally.....you will be able to buy them!
So it's finally far enough along to show everyone what's happening.
Here are some screen shots of what this thing can do:
Settings are in 100's , one click of button = 100 ft etc.
LV = low voltage warning, this thing works on batteries from 3.7 Lipo , 9v. to 11.7 battery packs.
Even has loudness for beeper increase or decrease for deaf guys like me. I can actually hear it from 10 ft away!
Stores 16 flights.
Program it with on board dip switches and button or LCD or Computer. Aux hook up for yro board [airstarts ,clusters ,staging] GPS, Telemtry, and others coming.
Works straight out of the box...mach immune ...main at 500 or play with it all ya like. Set for english or metric readouts. Obviously computer needed for graphing data.
Plug LCd in ....powered by the altimeter to see all flight data or change settings or do diagnostics.
Graph downloaded to computer from different flight than LCD data.
Arming elevation [2=200ft]
main deploy [5=500ft]
view of screen choices
view= current settings stored in altimeter
log= flight data screens
diag = ground testing charges etc.
set= changing settings stored in altimeter [i.e. change main deploy altitude]
deploy mode here 1 = dual deploy
LV =low voltage warning [needed cause you can use 3.7 9v up to 11.7 battery pack]
Some data from my flight altitude of 4259ft
velocity of 531
