I downloaded the instruction sheet for the Featherweight Raven, but, not being electronically informed, most of it seemed like Chinese.
I intend to use the accelerometer function of this altimeter for apogee deploy on an 8" diameter upscale ACME Spitfire. The motor will be a 54-2500. Expected altitude ~2000 ft.
The first issue I need resolved is that the altimeter comes in two different versions: single axis 250G, or 2 axis 70G/35G. What do the "axis" designations mean, and which would be the best for my application?
Also, if its a simple explanation, do any of you know how to make this altimeter fire an apogee charge, and then back it up a few hundred feet later with a second charge, assuming that the rocket is similar to the one I described?
