I've started building a 7m tall rocket that runs on nitros oxide and solid rocket fuel. Im hoping for 85000 feet, ever hopeful.
Two years ago i bought a cnc lathe ,cnc mill and some 3d printers,i didn't have a clue how to use them.
Thanks to open source help and a chance meeting im good enough to start building.
Now ive started learning about arduino, which im very excited about.
I can edit clever peoples code and now can fill my rocket with gas from 25m away, which after the last test
is a good thing.
Im trying to build a load cell to measure thrust and time and down load it to a sd card or direct onto excell
this is for test firing so i can decide whether angles or holes should change.
Also i have to trigger two chutes and was optimistic when i was able to program a pressure sencer to down load data to a sd card.I never expected them to be that accurate, recording a 2m variation.
However it turned out they only work up to 35000ft.
Mission:
To photograph/video the curvature of the earth
Record temp ,radiation,height, G force etc
Anything interesting that will fit and i haven't thought of.
Happy to make it a open source project.
