Hi there,
Has anybody experimented with using a microswitch or similar at the top of a motor to detect burnout, or does pretty much everyone stick with accelerometers?
Hmm. That's more clever than mine. This uses an inertial rod to press the microswitch... I was just going to have the motor slide slightly in the tube.
Which motor? The booster motor will always be trying to go forward: during boost for obvious reasons, and during coast because the rocket is experiencing drag and the motor is not.
