Hey,
I am getting into the hobby of rocketry and so far it has been very fun. I would like to try using some electronics in my rockets but am still somewhat of a newbie. I would like to try placing an altimeter or gps in my rocket and then possibly program it to control the rocket. Are there any electronics available which could read the altimeter data and cut off the engine at an altitude of about 500feet? Also is there a way to deploy the parachute or seperate another section of the rocket electronically without having the ejection charge on the blackpowder engine fire?
Thanks,
