Well, now that I know how closely it resembles the EasyMega, it's pretty easy for me to define the settings. I have a few preferences on staging strategy. One preference is to use time from launch as the actual trigger, as opposed to burnout plus a delay or some other trigger. I think that gives better control over the timing of the flight. It is also my preference to use an altitude check if possible, although I am willing to relax the altitude criteria if tilt is also a criteria. Assuming that the height calculations is as it appears (an inertial calculation of altitude), then I would do my flight simulation and determine the time where I wanted the sustainer igniter to fire. Let's say as an example that I want to light the sustainer igniter at 15 seconds and I predict the altitude to be 10,000 feet at that point, then I would set:
- Time from launch > 15 seconds
- Time from launch < 16 seconds (to close the firing window - very important)
- Height > 7,000 feet
- Angle < some value between 8 ad 20 degrees, depending on altitude and location
- 1 burnout (I flip/flop on this one)
- No delay after last condition
- No "states" used
- Shortest or nearly shortest pyro firing time
If I was using the B channel for the separation charge, I would just use 1 burnout + 2 second delay and maybe time from launch < something.
