Recovery Systems Telemetry Module (SkyNet)

A Telemetry Software-Hardware Package for High Powered Rockets.

TODO:

• Implement storing data in onboard flash memory in transmitter board
• Implement GPS reading
• Use sensor readings to determine apogee
• Move calculations to groundstation when feasilble such as altitude from pressure
• Calculate pressure with current temperature from sensor for greater accuracy
• Improvements on groundstation

Useage

The easiest way to use the code in this repo is to download PlatformIO and use the provided platformio.ini initialization file when you create a new project. PlatformIO works great with VS code.

Here is a Google Drive link for anything else we may not want to put on GitHub like pictures, videos, test results, etc.

Initial Objectives:

• Under $200 total
• 2 mile range to be safe
  • Assuming typical NSL flight profile, apogee is typically between 4000-6000ft
• Small form factor
  • Do not want to take up too much space in the rocket
• Detect separation of launch vehicle
• Collect as much data as possible; acceleration, gyro, pressure, temperature
• Protected from black powder residue
• Remember to consider the fact that carbon fiber is RF opaque
• Cross-platform desktop GUI application for displaying sensor data in a nice way
