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)
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
