HPR Rocket Flight Computer
Original sketch by SparkyVT
NAR #85720, L3
TRA #12111, L3
--------DESCRIPTION----------
This flight computer is designed for rockets 38mm in diameter or greater, and will fit inside a 38mm tube coupler.
Dimensions are 4.0in x 1.25in x 0.5in, not including antenna
It has similar capability as a TeleMega, but without a smart-phone app or advanced interfaces
Flight-tested on multiple M-powered supersonic flights to over 24K feet and Mach 2.0.
For large or high-power projects, a commercially avialble backup computer is strongly recommended.
--------FEATURES----------
Full-featured dual deploy/multi-stage/airstart rocket flight computer capable to 100,000ft or more
Tilt-sensing lockout for ignition of second stages and/or airstarts
Live telemetry over 433MHz or 915MHz LoRa (433MHz: USA amateur 70cm band, EUR licencse free) (915MHz: USA licence free)
4 high-current pyro outputs with continuity checks
Advanced MEMS sensor package: GNSS, accelerometers, gyroscope, magnetometer, barometer, and LoRa radio
High Data-Capture rate: approximately 50,000 samples per second recorded to SD card
--1000Hz 3-axis digital 24G and 100G accelerometer data logging
--1000Hz 3-axis digital 2000dps gyroscope data logging
--1000Hz of flight events & continuity data logging
--1000Hz of sensor-fuzed speed & altitude
--100Hz of pitch, yaw, roll rotation
--40Hz of of magnetic data logging and magnetic roll
--30Hz-100Hz of digital barometric data logging (Altitude, pressure, temperature)
--30Hz of main battery voltage (1400Hz during pyro events)
--20Hz of LoRa telemetry output (time, event, acceleration, speed, altitude, rotation, GNSS position, signal strength)
--5Hz-25Hz of GNSS data logging (chip-dependent data rates & constellations)
--Separate data file for each flight up to 100 flights
Simple, easy-to-use configuration interface through the SD card
--User Selectable Flight Mode: Single-Stage, Two-Stage, Airstart, or Booster
--Configurable Apogee delay
--Optional Audible Battery Voltage report at startup
--Optional Magnetic Switch Startup & Shut-down
--Preflight audible reporting options: Perfectflight or Marsa
--User selectable telemetry frequency & power settings
--8 configurable servo outputs (4 powered, 4 un-powered)
--User selectable inflight brownout recovery
Mach immune, sensor-fusion based apogee event
Barometric based main deploy event
Audible pre-flight continuity report
Audible Post-flight max altitude & speed report
Mount in any orientation, automatic orientation detection with built-in self calibration mode
Bench-test mode activated w/ tactile button; user configurable status messages over USB Serial
Report in SI or Metric units
Compatible with Teensy 3.2, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1
--Connect any sensor to any available I2C or SPI bus
--Create your own custom setup with configurable pins for continuity, firing, and servos
--Connect UBLOX GPS unit to any available HW Serial port
