altimeter

Hi all! I've been putting together something pretty exciting and wanted to share it with you. I'm working on a flight computer that's designed with rocket hobbyists in mind. Here's a quick overview: - It's built to track flights up to 100K feet. - You can record details for up to 15 flights...

Hi everyone! You may have seen the "Fluctus" flight computer over the last few weeks. I'm the developer behind it. Fluctus is an all-in-one, advanced and versatile model of rocketry flight computer. It embeds all the features of a flight recorder, deployment altimeter, telemeter and gps...

Hello. I am trying to wire up this Blue Raven and a little confused on how to connect 3 of the leads. I have attached the Blue Raven wiring diagram, my drawing of the current state and a picture of how this is setup in my electronics bay. Specifically, my question is how/where to connect the...

Hey Fellow Rocketry Geeks 🤓 I've recently joined this addiction and can't stop. I'm new to Rocketry but not new to electronics, programming and mechatronics. Rocketry allows me todo all of the above. I live in Canada and LPR is my only choice. But that should not be a limitation. As a result I...

Hey all, I had a quick question, So I am intending to have a backup black powder charge for the drogue and main parachute deployments. I have two altimeters that I am going to use. The first question is: I was going to have the main altimeter (an RRC3) fire the main charges. Then have the...

Hi All, I am attempting to make my own altimeter. I designed an ematch firing circuit which I believed should have worked and allowed the microcontroller I am using to detect continuity when activated (Like a commercial altimeter). However, when I assembled the PCB and tested it, the ematch...

Hello everyone! I'm currently a 4th year engineering student attempting my L2 certification flight soon on a MD 54mm rocket utilizing a Loki Research K960 (or K690, have yet to decide) motor. My plan is to use the Eggfinder TX and Quantum I purchased last year for telemetry but have a few...

Hello, I am a student in the engineering magnet at Middleton High School. For our senior capstone project, we are making a telemetry capable altimeter. I recently posted a survey on this forum about current altimeter designs and we got excellent results so I figured we might as well post this...

I'm starting assembly on the Ion, but I'm having trouble identifying the capacitors. It's supposed to have this: __ 3 .1 uF 1206 ceramic multilayer capacitor (brown) (not marked, but they;re in a PAPER carrier) But I don't see anything with a paper carrier and I can't identify anything...

Hello everyone! I am part of a TARC team located in Edgewater, Maryland. In one of our test flights, the nose cone became detached from the rocket along with the altimeter, and we lost the altimeter. The final qualification flights are due on April 4th, and we are unsure if we can get an...

Does anyone have any experience with the effects of temperature on components in an electronics bay during a flight to say, 25,000 feet? The temperature at higher altitudes becomes low at 25000 feet, and I would like to know if there are any ways I can find out how components such as an...

Ive got a strange issue with my latest Eggtimer Quantum. It’s my 3rd and not seen this problem on the previous two. FWIW I’ve prob built around 10 kits with no major issues on initial startup. It boots up ok and the WIFI Connects. But when I put a load on the deployment channels, I dont get...

Hello, For the last two years, myself and a group of people from my high school have been working on an experimental rocket and were using altimeter three because of the easy to use interface (and relative small size). We lost ours during our last launch and need a new one to continue the...

Got this from a friend, he got it from one of his friends and had no idea what it is. Anyone have any info on it? If nothing else it's a cool piece to collect but I'd love to be able to fly it.

Looking for a Jolly Logic Altimeter 1, 2, or 3... or a combo of any of these. Got out of rocketry for a short period and learned my lesson... don't part with everything. :( Looking to pay $30 for the A1, $50 for the A2, and $80 for the A3. Flexible on pricing for the A2 and A3... don't...

I need to be able to precisely measure a high-powered rocket's velocity after motor burnout. There is an onboard altimeter, as well as an accelerometer available to me. Which would yield a more accurate result? Also, any recommendations for implementing this with a real time system? If I...

I received an electronics bay from Wildman Rocketry. It is a very basic kit, 1 32mm fiberglass coupler and two bulk plates (See Pictures). I have never worked with metal bulk plates before. I was wondering if I could get some ideas on how to pass the electrical signal from my altimeter inside...

About halfway finished with my new EZI-65 build. I am going to utilize a Jolly Logic Altimeter 3 for this rocket. Any ideas for vent hole sizes in the main air frame and how many? Also, my friend suggested rather than use air frame vent holes why not drill small holes in all 3 centering rings...

Eggtimer Rocketry is proud to announce the availability of our premier GPS tracking product, the Eggtimer TRS GPS transmitter/altimeter and the Eggfinder LCD receiver on the 70cm Ham band. This is our first Ham-only product, with some advantages over the non-licensed 900 mHz band products...

Anyone know what this is on the Raven 4 and/or what it does? I bought some cheap lipo connectors and the polarity was crossed on some of them so when hooked up power for a wiring test, my e-matches blew and the piece pictured popped clean off the circuit card. I corrected the polarity and got...
