Testing a new project

[Long_Gone]

This has passed most of my ground testing. It is big right now but will fit in a bt-60 model on bench will fit in bt-20. Currently uses WEMOS D1 mini and oled, no logging yet that is next. Wish me luck, tired of losing Adrel's

Initial tests pass and made it less sloppy, need to fly it in a BT 60 sized rocket to see what's up....more to follow

Thanks Im am working on it and so far going well, is it going to be a contest grade altimeter? Probably not but good enough for me.

Ruined a bunch of seeed xaio boards (they stopped booting , junk), don't like them. This board display combo works well. Building in the capability to recover from a power failure during flight, and have the ability to erase the last peak altitude. Need to tweak the display for readability and comprehension. Also the colors give indications for flight readiness status. Red for erase/sensor error, blue for measuring altitude. If it stays red the BMP180 is not working or not plugged in. I had to do this because it was making me crazy wondering if the sensor was functioning or not sometimes.
