Question: I had an atypical dual deploy flight that went more sideways than usual, due to a motor anomaly. The drogue and main chutes appeared to deploy when they were supposed to. HOWEVER, when I approached the rocket at its landing site, the RRC3 altimeter was not beeping out altitude, like it is supposed to. It was beeping voltage. I have now been able to communicate with the altimeter using its bluetooth dongle. I tried to retrieving that RRC3 Flight Data from the RRC3 Flight Data Upload Manager -- but there was no data there.
What do people think this means? Is the altimeter damaged and malfunctioning? Do odd flights that don't have a normal flight profile throw off the data collection, but for that flight only?
Any ideas? Or has it happened to someone else before?
Thanks in advance for your help.
