Fall semester : We selected primary safety critical circuit components (SCC)  which are an:

Arduino Uno

Inertial measurement unit(IMU)

EEPROM (memory) (512 Kb non-volatile memory)(http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?product=24FC515)

We have enough memory but will likely have to use it sparingly.

and secondary SCC components:

Stratologger (StratoLogger info)

 

stratologger

electronics bay prototype
Electronics bay prototype

 

arduino uno back
arduino uno front Arduino Uno R3

This semester:

We have received the IMU and EEPROM

Reviewed wiring rules

Future:

Assessing components next week to see if components qualify as flight-worthy.

construct prototype bay (Note wiring rules & regulations: wiring_rules_v2 )

Recovery: VHF transmitters / Directional antenna

  • GPS/Network modules
  • Cost/Range/Etc…
  • Clarification (“Stages”)

Launch hardware

  • Select Components
  • Construct prototype

Assemble SCC’s

  • Begin testing/calibrating
  • Fit to electronics bay
  • Familiarize ourselves with the different components
  • Ground testing
