Eggtimer Rocketry is proud to announce the Eggtimer Quantum, the first WiFi-enabled Flight Computer. It offers a feature set similar to the "classic" Eggtimer, but with one big difference: You program, arm/disarm, download, and test it using a WiFi-enabled browser on your phone, tablet, laptop, or other portable device. We've even used an old iPod Touch. No jumpers, buttons, switches, cables, apps, or Internet required. It's the easiest to use flight computer ever...
Features include:
o Two deployment channels, for Drogue and Main
o 15-flight memory, all downloadable directly to your handheld device.
You can get the full skinny on your flight within seconds of landing!
o Live display of deployment channel status and battery voltage
o Wide array of programming options, all from your phone or tablet
o Optional FailSafe feature can deploy your Main chute if it detects your rocket going into freefall
o Small size: 2.5" x .9", fits in a 24mm tube
o Separate deployment battery option, or use with a single battery
o Dual-ended independent switching on the deployment outputs, they're essentially "dead" until you're well into flight
(you don't even need a power switch)
o PWM servo support for non-pyro deployments
o Remote deployment testing from over 100' away... great for those large pyro tests
o Includes screw-terminal blocks (yes, we gave into peer pressure...)
You can read more about it at https://www.eggtimerrocketry.com/Quantum.php
The Eggtimer Quantum kit will be $40, with availability around mid-March. The Quantum is about the same complexity to build as the Eggtimer WiFi Switch, meaning that it DOES use surface mount components but they're all 1206-size and/or .050" pitch SOIC's. With the proper tools, assembly should take most experienced electronic hobbyists an evening.
As usual, thanks for all your support!
