Is the TeleMega still the only electronics than can sense tilt or orientation?

if developed it'll effectively be THE solution as an ADD ON (and that's the important part) to existing electronic systems, and make staging not only safer, but easier to set up and execute, thus generating it's own positive feedback loop as more and more people find that tech boot straps up their skill set.

For such a device would one switched channel be enough?
 
Link? Also, are there block diagrams showing how the MARS components go together?

Roadmap is private, only because the "road" changes frequently and sometimes washes out in sections...

Block diagram: Good idea, need to get that up on the website tech session. Thanks for the push.
 
BPS.space has an upcoming altimeter called Arc that apparently has tilt limits. Unfortunately the accelerometer on it is limited to 16 G which is a bit low for many people, but still worth considering.

This is typical if you use commercial IMU chips, but as long as you are just doing launch detection with the altimeter it doesn't matter if it saturates during the early part of the boost -- you aren't using the accel for tilt sensing.

You're completely correct. I'm just a bit disappointed I won't be able to use it to get speed measurements when going supersonic.
