Electronics Update 2/2/15

Now that the IMU has been properly hooked up to the Arduino board progress has begun on programming the board. Data is being collected and is properly outputting to the serial monitor. A proof of concept has been programmed to simulate the signal used to ignite the ejection charge. Once the electronics system has detected a significant drop in altitude an LED lights up on the Arduino board to simulate the signal to eject the parachute.
